Fastly Achieves AWS Retail Competency Status

We are thrilled to announce that Fastly has achieved Amazon Web Services (AWS) Retail Competency status! This designation recognizes that Fastly has demonstrated proven expertise that helps customers achieve their cloud goals in the retail industry. To attain the AWS Competency designation, AWS Partner Network (APN) Partners must possess extensive expertise in AWS and seamlessly deliver solutions on the AWS platform. This achievement adds another accolade to our partnership with AWS – last year we achieved the (AWS) Security Competency status.

“This is a great achievement for all of us here at Fastly and demonstrates our strong partnership with AWS. We are thrilled to receive recognition from AWS for our expertise in supporting the unique needs of customers in the retail segment,” said Erica Ford, Sr. Director of Cloud Alliances at Fastly. “This AWS competency is a validation of our dedication to improving customer experiences both in how the Fastly platform meets their solution needs as well as by streamlining procurement through the AWS Marketplace.”

To receive the designation, AWS Partner Network (APN) members must possess deep AWS expertise and deliver solutions seamlessly on AWS. Achieving AWS Retail Competency differentiates Fastly as an APN member, which helps retailers accelerate their digital transformation journeys, enabling them to maintain a competitive edge and deliver exceptional customer experiences.
