Where developers dream bigger

Developers change the way the world experiences the web: they drive the next groundbreaking innovation, power the companies that connect us, and create experiences that can transform our lives. And we built Fastly to make sure they always have what they need to make it happen.

Our powerful edge cloud network empowers developers to run, secure, and deliver websites and applications — as close to the users as possible, to create unforgettable experiences at global scale.

Built by developers. Driven by values.

There’s so much more to Fastly than technology. At the heart of our work, we aim to improve human lives — and from the beginning, we’ve grown with a deliberate focus on transparency, integrity, and inclusion. This is outlined in our Code of Conduct and Ethics.

Endless spirit of services

We value our customers — which is why we respect privacy, and don’t exploit customer data or end user data. And our team is available to help along the way via our support center.

Power to open source

Our platform helps businesses across industries scale faster and more securely, and we’re proud to offer free services for open-source and nonprofit projects.

Where innovation thrives

From the start, we’ve moved data and applications closer to the end user — at the edge of the network — to improve apps and websites. Today, we’re continuing to set the industry standard and innovate at the edge.

Leading as One Fastly

Making the internet a better place, where all experiences are fast, safe and engaging.
