Fastly, Inc.

Organizations around the world are more dependent on the quality of digital experiences they provide than ever before. As the internet approaches an inflection point where automated, artificial intelligence ( AI )-driven traffic increases demands on infrastructure, Fastly is the essential platform to deliver resilient, highly performant, always-on software and services at global scale. The edge cloud is a category of Infrastructure as a Service ( IaaS ) that enables software engineers to build, secure, and deliver digital experiences at the edge of the Internet. Our platform represents the convergence of the Content Delivery Network ( CDN ) with functionality that has traditionally been delivered by hardware-centric appliances such as Application Delivery Controllers ( ADC ), Web Application Firewalls ( WAF ), API Management, Bot Detection, Distributed Denial of Service ( DDoS ), Web Application and API Protection ( WAAP ), and infrastructure protection. Processing at the edge is an ideal way to handle highly dynamic and time-sensitive data, especially when performance matters. Organizations of all sizes, including Fortune 500 companies that run 24/7 operations, leverage our edge cloud platform for a diverse range of critical functions that benefit from processing at the edge, including enhancing user experience, scaling agentic AI workloads, and powering core commerce capabilities to drive conversion and customer success. The edge cloud complements data center, central cloud, and hybrid solutions, and is critical for responsive, safe, and secure AI-centric experiences.
