Who is this best for?
This is the fastest way to decide whether Fastly Compute is in the right neighborhood.
Best for
- Latency-sensitive request paths that benefit from edge execution
- Programmable networking and edge middleware patterns
- Global products where tail latency affects UX
- Teams comfortable with edge constraints and architecture trade-offs
Who should avoid
- You need deep cloud-native triggers and managed event ecosystems as the default
- You want maximum portability and minimal platform-specific edge patterns
- You need long-running or heavy compute per request
