A CDN that lives up to its name: FAST!
What do you like best about the product?
At Agility CMS we use Fastly in front of our file assets and APIs. For the API we need to be able to instantly invalidate cache when data changes at the origin. Only Fastly was able to accomplish this worldwide in our tests in under 200ms consistently.
Also, as a baseline, requests to the CDN are really fast in terms of response time - usually under 100ms, often under 50ms.

What do you dislike about the product?
The language to customize Fastly is VCL, which is based on varnish. While this is incredibly powerful as a language, its not something we were comfortable with. We had to learn VCL before we could even begin to take advantage of all Fastly has to offer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Fastly, we have a fast system that our customers can rely on to always be up-to-date with the latest content, delivered incredibly fast.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get connected to the Fastly team if you have any questions. They are incredibly knowledgeable and very helpful, especially with those tough technical problems and questions.

Great product and responsive support
What do you like best about the product?

Support staff are responsive and helpful. Our business is definitely more successful having used Fastly.

Some more advanced features are still in beta, but it's good to see the platform expanding beyond its Varnish/VCL roots.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Massive scaling, routing, some more advanced functionality delegated to the edge where it's most performant. Log streaming integrations are powerful and the attention the Terraform provider has received helps us in provisioning our services in a way that makes sense.

Fastly Has Exceeded our Expectations for Performance and DevOps-friendliness
What do you like best about the product?
We were originally drawn to Fastly because of how developer-friendly their service was. We had access to pretty much the entire range of custom VCL, and, as rapidly as Fastly added new features to the UI, we could always count on those features being available via their REST API at the same time. If there's anything we can't figure out on our own, the Fastly knowledge base and Support team are always there for us to consult. The extremely high ease-of-use and quality of support would be less valuable if Fastly weren't the highest performing CDN we've ever worked with. We've done a handful of performance comparisons with other CDNs, and Fastly has always come out ahead.
What do you dislike about the product?
Until the recent acquisition of Signal Sciences, Fastly has had to point us to their partners for complementary WAF and API security services. We're excited to see what the acquisition has in store for us in terms of new, combined offerings.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fastly provides a highly performance, reliable, global CDN for our content. The volume of that content and the community users who rely on it as a critical resource grow daily, and Fastly has had no problems scaling with that growth. Fastly APIs make it painless to integrate their caching services with our content publishing processes. The real-time log streaming functionality allows us to mine the traffic data effectively and understand our end users' usage patterns.
