I would recommend reading up on the core functionality of the product and then mapping that to your business use case. And, particularly, cache keys are things you wanna look at. Your cache keys are well thought out so that you don't have something too specific, and you also don't want something too general. We've had that problem in the past where our cache keys aren't specific enough or are too general, so we go to clear cache, and we're clearing more things than we should. Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten because I like this product.

I rate Fastly an eight out of ten. I advise others to go for Cloudflare if their application is hosted on AWS. They should evaluate Akamai as well. They must decide which product to choose based on price and use cases.

Fasty is very open to running pilots and trials and is very engaged with working with our team to set up their platform. They're a very good consideration not only to run as your primary CDN but also as a dual CDN. They are very open to conversation around it. It obviously improves resiliency and redundancy in our CDN setup. The solution allows you to take advantage of the features that Fastly may have over other CDN vendors within the same architecture. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.

Fastly acquired Signal Sciences. It is a good product, and it fulfills our requirements. Even if a feature is missing, we can request it, and Fastly will help us. Overall, I rate the tool an eight out of ten.
