What is Fastly Compute@Edge?

Fastly, traditionally a CDN, was one of the first CDNs that openly and actively promoted its edge worker technology.

Fastly has been open and quick when it comes to adding features and functionality to their Serverless product. The platform is runs on WASM logic (with JIT compilation). All in all, one could expect very fast responses when it comes to running your application on Fastly. You can write Compute programs in any WASI (WebAssembly System Interface)-supporting language through SDKs.

Fastly has a unique online fiddler tool to experiment and try different Edge features and functionality without even having to register, live log tailing and individual end-user request trailing. A notable customer of Fastly’s Compute@Edge platform is LoveHolidays.

Resource Pricing

Fastly charges for Compute based on the total number of compute requests you make plus their compute duration and CPU time. Requests of 20 ms or less in duration do not incur any vCPU charges. vCPU time beyond 20ms is metered and charged in increments of 10 ms. The total number of metered vCPU milliseconds are aggregated and converted to seconds (1000 ms).
