Fastly Valuable Features

Archana Heeralal - PeerSpot reviewer

Overall, it is a good product. If we make any changes in one version and it doesn't work or something goes wrong, we can revert to the old version. We will not lose our configuration. For every change, we will have a separate version. We can switch back to the older version if we add anything new that doesn’t work. 

The solution provides good WAF features. Rate limiting is a good feature that protects from volumetric attacks. The product is easy to use and easy to implement. It is quite a mature product.

Compute@Edge features are valuable to me. The product allows us to overcome architecture on the origin. It enables us to run a pilot very quickly. It also allows us to do A/B testing at scale.

Its VCL is very powerful, and the fact that we can interface with a deployed pipeline for the configuration as code is really great. So we don't have to do things with their web interface. Everything can be done programmatically as opposed to by hand. 

Fastly is very stable, reliable, and fast. And when Fastly does its technology upgrades, it does a good job.

Fastly's UI is reliable. We can use coding with Terraform to configure it with ease.

  • CDN configurations are managed using VCL (Varnish Language), and you can do exactly what you want, including modifying the VCL code directly or using the GUI. This is really powerful.
  • The CDN performance is really good, and it is fast, all around the world.
  • Fastly uses configuration versioning, where you can deploy a new version in less than one minute. This includes a new origin server, caching rules, etc., and you can also rollback in less than one minute.
  • The self-service model contains everything, and there is no need to ask for operations to be performed by technical support.
  • Fastly CLI is really usefull to modify configuration in a quick way, more user friendly than the API but enought powerful to do what you want, I really like this possibility to make bulk changes
