Good promo for Fastly! Fastly is a great company - effectively they're Varnish-as-a-Service, which is really a non-trivial SaaS. I hope this brings in some business for them.
- alberth 3y agoI read an analogy once and its that: Fastly == Linux (ability to changes lots of things to tailor to your exact needs) Cloudflare == macOS (prepackaged to work for most general users, limited config)
- karmakaze 3y agoI've used both and wish Fastly had a mode where a higher level specification could be used for most/simple cases. It's been quite a while since I've used it so may be a capability it has since added.
- hermanradtke 3y agoThey have a whole UI that avoids any sort of VCL.
- no_wizard 3y agoI feel like Cloudflare is becoming more of a cloud computing platform with a focus on global "instant" delivery of services than a CDN company. Of course, they're also a really competent CDN company, but they're really leveraging all their experience in that domain to bolster up their compute offerings.
- alberth 3y agoCloudflare wants to be the defacto "Cloud 2.0" company (where AWS is "Cloud 1.0"). Where Cloud 1.0 is laregly just a "lift/shift" of OnPrem to Cloud. Cloud 2.0 is hosting on the Edge and infrastructure built completely different than anything legacy from an OnPrem (or lift/shift) mindset.
