Digital publishing

“Two-tenths of a second across Fastly’s platform to invalidate content and four to five seconds to push a config out across a network — I can’t tell you what a game-changer Instant Purge was for us.”

Erik Bursch

VP, Product Technology

Fastly helps GIPHY cut costs and boost performance while serving billions of images daily.

Digital publishing

"Here at GIPHY, Fastly is always part of the conversation when we plan new features. Before we build, we look at what Fastly can offer: more often than not, it's exactly what we need. Fastly's exceptional customer support makes it easy to explore possibilities and move fast with confidence."

Harold Hunt

“Performance and user experience are incredibly important for e-commerce sites like 1stDibs. When we couldn't get purging in seconds, we moved to Fastly.”
