“Khan Academy site usage grew to 2.5x during only two weeks during 2020 and has sustained that level to date. As schools all over the world closed because of the coronavirus pandemic. Khan Academy was able to respond, offering high-quality content and classroom experience — for free. In the month of April, we served 30 million learners on our platform.”

“I think that’s one of the biggest differences with Fastly: with legacy CDN, you can do a few things here or there, but usually you have to use their team to make the configuration changes. With Fastly, we don’t have to open support cases and wait for someone else to do it — we do what we want, when we want.”
