What benefits does "the edge" offer digital publishing? | Fastly
By bringing your content closer to the reader, you bypass the conventional cost and rules associated with server space and infrastructure maintenance, and you gain some additional benefits. Let’s explore them.
Modern CDN for Digital Publishing
The key to customer retention is serving the most up-to-date content instantly, personalizing that content for readers, and ensuring online experiences are responsive, safe, and secure. Here are three ways a modern content delivery network, or CDN, can help you do just that.

Using cURL to Test Origin Server Responses
Curl, or cURL, is a utility that’s shipped by default on operating systems like MacOS and many Linux distributions that allows you to send an HTTP request to a URL and receive the result. In this post, we’ll walk you through how to use the tool to test an origin server’s response.

The power of serverless, 72 times over
Serverless technology has been making developers’ lives easier for years, but those benefits had yet to extend to end users. This is the true promise of edge serverless — enabling developers to solve for both operational overhead and a performant, consistent user experience, simultaneously.
Code-splitting and minimal edge latency: the perfect match
Fastly Fiddle, our code playground tool, is a React single-page app that uses the excellent Monaco IDE component that powers VS Code. Problem is, Monaco is huge. And most uses of Fiddle are read only. Code-splitting removes the need to load a whole IDE to display some non-editable code. Let’s explore how.
Leveling up observability with Compute
Observability is hard. Distributed systems, dev and testing environments, and outside vendors all complicate the problem. With Compute, Fastly wants to make observability easier. Here’s what we’re doing.
Why Compute does not yet support JavaScript
Building our own compiler toolchain allows Compute to be both performant and secure. It also means we have to bring developers’ most-loved language into the fold in the right way.
TLS 1.3 is faster, more robust, and now available
