Fastly

The company operates an edge cloud platform that provides infrastructure services such as content delivery, compute, security and traffic management. It creates value by hosting and executing customer workloads closer to end users, reducing latency, improving reliability and offloading origin infrastructure, while adding security controls at the edge.

Revenue is generated primarily from business customers that integrate their applications and websites with the platform and pay for ongoing usage and service packages. Additional value is created through integrated security offerings (web application firewall, bot management, DDoS protection) and developer tooling that deepen platform adoption and increase spend over time. Acquisitions such as Signal Sciences and Glitch expand the security and developer experience layers on top of the core edge network, supporting a broader platform strategy.

Fastly is a United States–based edge cloud and security provider focused on content delivery, edge compute and application security. Its core services include a content delivery network, serverless edge compute environment, image optimisation, load balancing, web application and API protection, bot management and DDoS mitigation, delivered over a global edge network.

The company generates revenue by selling usage-based and contracted access to its edge platform to business customers. Buyers are primarily enterprises and large digital businesses that run websites, APIs, applications, e‑commerce and media properties, and need performant content delivery combined with security and programmability at the network edge. It competes with other CDN and cloud infrastructure vendors such as Akamai, Cloudflare and major hyperscalers.
