MC Awards 2021 «Edge Computing Solution»: Fastly Compute @ Edge

Fastly is a company well known for its content delivery solutions (CDN) but, for some time now, it has also been very prominent in the most advanced infrastructures with its Compute @ Edge solution for creating large-scale applications distributed by everyone, who this year has obtained the trophy for the best “Edge Computing Solution” in the MC 2021 Awards.

Compute @ Edge lets you run code at the edge, without having to worry about managing the infrastructure that supports it. Thanks to its advanced capabilities it is possible to deploy and execute complex logic for backend applications and services of any kind based on Fastly’s serverless solution.

Code execution startup time is 35.4 microseconds, about 100 times faster than any other serverless solution. It allows the use of the most widely used languages ​​for serverless development, such as JavaScript or Rust, to reduce implementation time and facilitate project interoperability. Compute @ Edge allows you to run code on hundreds of machines around the world that facilitate the creation of unbeatable user experiences since they allow you to be close to where your users are to give them the best service.

Plus, as is the house rule with Fastly, safety is guaranteed by design. The isolation technology in Compute @ Edge helps protect against side channel attacks and reduces resource conflicts, while maintaining consistent performance. Each request that enters the platform is served by an isolated environment that is generated to serve it and is destroyed after doing so, limiting the spread radius of the buggy code while minimizing the surface area susceptible to being attacked.
