Fastly

In honor of Black History Month (US & Canada), Fastlyans came together to celebrate, learn, and build community alongside Blackly Employee Resource Group. From our Boom Box: Cookout Edition event, a high-energy music trivia experience honoring Black artists, to The Good Trouble Virtual Tour, an immersive look at Black resistance and collective action, the month was filled with joy, reflection, and meaningful dialogue. To celebrate community, we gathered in-person in the historic Five Points neighborhood near our Denver office and supported Black-owned businesses across all Fastly US offices. By intentionally investing in Black-owned businesses, we honored the vibrant culture, creativity, and impact that continues to inspire our teams and the broader community. Grateful to Blackly for leading with intention and impact. 🖤 #BHM

Every customer interaction is a signal. A support ticket. A Slack message. A feature request. A login. On their own, they’re moments. Together, they reveal where friction exists — and where we can improve. That’s the foundation of our Voice of the Customer strategy at Fastly. We don’t just collect feedback — we connect it. We analyze patterns across conversations, usage trends, and satisfaction data to understand the why behind requests. Then we turn those insights into action. A recent example: API Discovery. What started as recurring conversations about unknown APIs and visibility gaps became a solution designed to give teams instant, automated insight into their API surface — without added complexity. When customers see their feedback shape what we build, it builds trust. And we keep the loop going. Have something you want us to improve or build next? We’re listening. #CustomerFirst

In ecommerce, milliseconds matter. Even small increases in page latency can impact conversion rates, cart abandonment, and repeat engagement — especially on mobile. While traditional CDNs handle static assets well, delivering dynamic, personalized, and time-sensitive content at speed has always been the bigger challenge. That’s why Fastly is collaborating with Google Cloud to help retailers rethink performance at scale. By combining Fastly’s edge cloud platform with Google Cloud’s infrastructure, ecommerce teams can: ⚡ Improve UX by serving content from the closest possible edge location 📈 Increase conversions with faster page loads and lower checkout friction 💰 Reduce TCO by offloading backend requests from services like Google Compute Engine and Google Kubernetes Engine 🚀 Scale confidently during Black Friday, product drops, and major traffic spikes If you’re running ecommerce workloads on Google Cloud and looking to improve performance, scalability, and cost efficiency — this is worth a look. 👉 Learn how Fastly and Google Cloud work together to power high-performance #ecommerce experiences.
