We're using it as the primary content delivery network for a large number of websites that we're responsible for, and we're using it in a configuration of an edge and a shield in front of our organization. And we use it in our deployed pipeline. So everything is configuration, is code. We use their VCL technology quite extensively for the functionality of the Edge behavior.
I use the product mostly for its Compute@Edge capabilities. Fastly is a content delivery network with various functions inside CDN. It has a functionality around security. It also has a content delivery functionality, which is a more standard function within CDN. If you are accessing a website locally from Mumbai, and these servers are based in California, you get a more localized version of the content. Content delivery is something that all CDNs do. As technology has improved, we're able to do far more than just serve content at the CDN level. We're able to manipulate the HTML requests, rewrite those requests, redirect them, and do forward rewrites. We can carry out a lot of functions, run scripts, and even store data. It is an area that Fastly is very active in.
