Fastly's Product Vision for 2021
We want to help you build the best user experiences confidently, securely, and quickly in the face of any challenge — and our 2021 product vision is designed with this in mind. Let’s dig in on our areas of focus.
New logging endpoints: Kafka and Kinesis
Fastly adds two new logging endpoints with Kafka, now in general availability, and Kinesis, now in limited availability.
Adobe boosts performance and MTTR with Epsagon and Fastly logs | Fastly
Working together, Epsagon and Adobe’s Project Helix team built a very cool integration that uses clever parsing of Fastly VCL to generate tracing statements showing what variables have been created, updated, or deleted at every stage of a request and response in our platform.
Use One Set of Credentials for Multiple Fastly Accounts
Gone are the days of maintaining separate credentials for multiple accounts. Multi Account User Access allows you to log in to multiple Fastly customer accounts with a single set of credentials.
Meet AssemblyScript: your next computing language
AssemblyScript is a variant of TypeScript that produces WebAssembly binaries, the binary format that powers Fastly’s Compute@Edge. It’s a new technology supported by all major browsers, and relative to JavaScript, it offers predictable performance, making WebAssembly well suited for computationally intensive tasks. Let’s dig in on why AssemblyScript is your next computing language.
Compute@Edge with CLI, Terraform API & Language Support | Fastly
Now running production traffic, Compute takes a leap forward in delivering on the promise of highly performant, secure, and globally distributed serverless computing with the introduction of powerful new functionality and tooling.
Signal Sciences named Visionary in 2020 Magic Quadrant for Web Application Firewalls for second year | Fastly
We believe Signal Sciences’ innovation earned them recognition in the 2019 Gartner Magic Quadrant for WAF, and it’s this kind of innovation that excites us as we merge forces — now that Signal Sciences is part of Fastly.
Fastly Introduces Two Solutions for Quality | Fastly
With two new solutions, Fastly is empowering video engineers to address the growing streaming-at-scale challenge head on with enhancements to its video-on-demand and live event services capabilities, helping them deliver quality user experiences no matter what their end users are streaming.
Better diff view from feedback & research | Fastly
We’ve made improvements to our diff view by combining customer testing, feedback, and requests with our own inspiration with diff experiences we enjoy using. The result is an enhanced diff view experience that we think you’ll enjoy as much as we do.
Terraform now supports all Fastly logging endpoints
We’ve been hard at work at Fastly this year working on updates to our Terraform provider and have some exciting ones to announce: Terraform now supports all our logging endpoints, plus Fastly web application firewall customers can now manage their WAF within Terraform.
BuzzFeed Optimize Gif-heavy Content with new Fastly Feature
Fastly’s new Image Optimizer feature converts animated gifs to MP4 videos for a faster load time, smoother experience, and significant savings on end-users’ bandwidth. In fact, the new feature was able to condense BuzzFeed’s 250 MB, browser-freezing “100 Greatest Gifs of all Time” article to a much more manageable 6 MB.
Deploying network error logging with Compute
We’ve been experimenting with Network Error Logging with Fastly Insights and discovered that processing the NEL reports is a great use case for Compute. In this post, we’ll look at our first attempt to build a NEL reporting pipeline, discuss where there was potential for optimization, and how Compute solves these problems while introducing performance and security improvements along the way.
