Business Description

Overview Organizations around the world are more dependent on the quality of digital experiences they provide than ever before. As the internet approaches an inflection point where automated, artificial intelligence (“AI”)-driven traffic increases demands on infrastructure, Fastly is the essential platform to deliver resilient, highly performant, always-on software and services at global scale. The edge cloud is a category of Infrastructure as a Service (“IaaS”) that enables software engineers to build, secure, and deliver digital experiences at the edge of the Internet. Our platform represents the convergence of the Content Delivery Network (“CDN”) with functionality that has traditionally been delivered by hardware-centric appliances such as Application Delivery Controllers (“ADC”), Web Application Firewalls (“WAF”), API Management, Bot Detection, Distributed Denial of Service (“DDoS”), Web Application and API Protection (“WAAP”), and infrastructure protection. Processing at the edge is an ideal way to handle highly dynamic and time-sensitive data, especially when performance matters. Organizations of all sizes, including Fortune 500 companies that run 24/7 operations, leverage our edge cloud platform for a diverse range of critical functions that benefit from processing at the edge, including enhancing user experience, scaling agentic AI workloads, and powering core commerce capabilities to drive conversion and customer success. The edge cloud complements data center, central cloud, and hybrid solutions, and is critical for responsive, safe, and secure AI-centric experiences. Fastly focuses holistically on the edge cloud from developer creation to end-user experience, with our global footprint and integrated security core to our platform. Our platform is poised to capitalize on the rise of agentic AI, where autonomous agent consumption is driving the bulk of internet traffic. Fastly is uniquely positioned – and has laid the groundwork – to lead the intelligence fabric that helps enterprises adapt to this shift. We are capturing this opportunity by supporting edge workloads and AI traffic management, allowing organizations to optimize AI-driven services alongside human interactions. We play a unique role in helping enterprises optimize and accelerate interactions with authorized AI agents and blocking abuse, powering their differentiation and AI-fueled innovation. Organizations must keep up with a complex and ever-evolving landscape. We’ve built a powerful unified edge platform designed from the ground up to be programmable and support agile software development, and we continuously drive innovation to meet the ever changing needs of our customers. We believe that our platform gives our customers a significant competitive advantage – whether they were born into the AI-centric digital age or are just embarking on their transformation journey. 7 Products & Services Fastly Platform Fastly’s platform has evolved over the years to meet changing technology demands and the needs of a growing customer base. Built on the core principles of performance, resilience, and programmability, it was originally designed to accelerate applications and services at global scale. Over time, the platform expanded to also encompass edge computing, cloud-native architectures, unified application security, and emerging AI workloads. Today, Fastly’s platform is designed to address the requirements of the always-on digital economy by providing essential infrastructure and application solutions for customers across a broad range of industries. We serve organizations across ecommerce, streaming media, gaming, digital publishing, and high tech to financial services and more. Our platform supports diverse use cases, from edge distribution and delivery, to cloud-native applications, serverless development, web application and API protection, and edge computing.
