Fastly

Fastly

Fastly operates a content delivery network, which is necessary for entities to provide faster and more reliable online content. Fastly's strategy differs from traditional CDNs, which focus on locating servers in as many locations as possible to store copies of files that consumers most use. Fastly is in far fewer sites than traditional CDNs, but it houses servers in the most network-dense data centers. Instead of simply storing static content, it allows its customers to program on its platform, enabling edge computing and better service of the more dynamic content that was traditionally not well served by CDNs. Fastly gears its service to the largest, most sophisticated enterprises rather than small companies and generated nearly three fourths of its revenue in the United States in 2024.www.fastly.com

It was up like 18% yesterday.
Dennis DickHOST
9:35
Fastly, which will help to try to control the pipes, you know, on the internet, it was up big yesterday too.
Dennis DickHOST

All these stocks had huge days where hardware was hammered, so it was a hardware hammering and a software rally yesterday.

Today, this morning, we're kinda seeing the opposite thing happen because of the Trump Truth Storm here.
Ron EvansGUEST

You don't have an opportunity to gracefully handle it.
Ron EvansGUEST

So especially due to the amazing work of Jake Bailey, who you know from TypeScript Go compiler, amazing software developer and incredibly prolific contributor to TinyGo, as well as being maintainer of TypeScript Go, And also Damian Grisky from Fastly.
Ron EvansGUEST
56:19
They're really the ones who did the vast majority of the work.
Ron EvansGUEST
56:22
They're both team members of Time to Go and have done an incredible amount of effort in order to bring the most language compatibility and also standard library compatibility so that things do the thing you expect them to do, not just it looks like it should work, but then it doesn't.
Dave MerrittGUEST

So we started using CloudFront's API caching and we added some pretty, I mean, I don't know, specific implementations where we ensure that everybody who opens the same push notification would get the same fresh data.
Dave MerrittGUEST
42:20
And eventually we migrated from CloudFront to Fastly, which is a very kind of advanced caching and CDN network.
Dave MerrittGUEST
42:27
that allows us to do proactive cache invalidation.
Dave MerrittGUEST
42:30
So when we know that our data has changed under the hood, we send a cache invalidation to Fastly's service.
Dave MerrittGUEST
42:36
And in under, I think, 150 milliseconds, that's purged across the entire globe.
Dave MerrittGUEST
42:42
So we're always trying to tune that tension of we need to have the freshest data.
Nate HakeGUEST
11:46
And I think that's a really significant step.
Nate HakeGUEST
11:48
And then they're also working in connection with Fastly, which is a CDN, to try to have their own sort of enforcement mechanism for how you would block the bots if they're not paying.
Nate HakeGUEST
11:57
The thing about all this is the AI companies still have to actually be buyers.
Nate HakeGUEST
12:02
But the important takeaway is that the technical infrastructure is being developed so that in the future, you could earn these AI licensing fees as a creator.

any big numbers, any scale numbers, just in terms of what sort of volumes of data are we talking about? What sort of network...
James GovernorHOST
4:23
I mean, we are here at a Fastly event, so I'm sure there are some questions about content serving.
James GovernorHOST
4:29
And in fact, I did hear some of the numbers you were giving.
James GovernorHOST
4:35
What kind of scale of operations are we talking
Jefferson FraserGUEST

Jefferson FraserGUEST
5:08
Okay, that's a lot.
James GovernorHOST
5:12
What role does Fastly play in being able to serve that amount of data? And like, I guess that's the, you've given me the data footprint.
James GovernorHOST
5:23
Obviously the question about the access footprint is, that's a whole other question as well.
