FASTLY RECOGNIZED AS A LEADER IN EDGE DEVELOPMENT PLATFORMS, ONLY VENDOR WITH DIFFERENTIATED RANKING IN SECURITY

Independent Research Firm ranks Fastly as one of only two leaders in new report on emerging edge development platforms SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 28 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Fastly, Inc. (NYSE: FSLY), a global edge cloud platform provider, today announced it was named a Leader in The Forrester New Wave™: Edge Development Platforms, Q4 2021 report. Fastly’s Compute@Edge was given differentiated scores, the highest possible, across six criteria, including vision, roadmap, developer experience, platform execution model, and day-two-plus experience. Fastly was also the only vendor to receive a differentiated rating in the security criterion, and believes this validates the strength of the company’s current serverless compute offering. According to the Forrester New Wave report, Fastly’s Compute@Edge “offers secure edge compute with negligible cold starts” and “starts within the time it takes to complete a transport layer security handshake. The result: no more pre-warming for maximum serverless performance. Fastly’s custom-built runtime isolates requests on a per-instance basis and supports Rust and Javascript software development kits.” “When we built Compute@Edge, our goal was to empower developers to architect globally distributed applications faster and more securely on the network edge. Years of investment in custom-built technology have allowed us to do this, and today we are honored to be recognized as a leader by Forrester in the New Wave report for Edge Development Platforms,” said Tyler McMullen, CTO at Fastly. “I’m particularly thrilled to have maintained our commitment to security and the developer experience, allowing our customers to enjoy a more secure, higher-performing serverless compute environment designed to build the next era of modern applications. ” Fastly’s Compute@Edge received differentiated scores in the following criteria, all of which have been foundational priorities for Fastly’s Compute@Edge from the beginning: · Security: Compute@Edge leverages Fastly’s unique isolation technology that creates and destroys a sandbox for each request flowing through its platform in microseconds. This effectively eliminates an entire class of security vulnerabilities and side-channel attacks while simultaneously and holistically minimizing attack surface area. http://mrem.bernama.com/viewsm.php?idm=41405
