It does! Can be served at the edge or passed through to origin.
- KeychainPirate 2y agoAccording to the docs WebSockets are still incompatible with WAF and Origin Shield... https://docs.fastly.com/products/websockets https://docs.fastly.com/products/websockets If I'm not using Origin Shield, and I can't use WAF, why would I bother with Fastly when AWS Cloudfront is a fraction of the cost (And has WebSockets): https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/DeveloperGuide/distribution-working-with.websockets.html https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/Develope... I just don't understand what Fastly has been doing for the past few years, it seems like they're just selling bandwidth these days.
- jkarneges 2y agoI'm not sure there'd be much benefit to using shielding with WebSockets, since the traffic wouldn't be cached/collapsed. You can still shield HTTP traffic on the same domain being used for WebSockets. WAF could be nice though.
