Operational Impact
The switch to Fastly's edge cloud network has empowered Slate to grow without limits. The podcast service has seen notable growth, with tens of thousands of users joining each month. With Supporting Cast still signing new podcasts every week, the team appreciates that they never need to worry about traffic volume before adding new content. Fastly's compatibility with a CI/CD production environment has also enabled Slate developers to deploy configurations immediately, instead of being held up while they're routed through systems administration. Additionally, Slate has taken advantage of other solutions in the Fastly portfolio, such as Fastly's Image Optimizer and logging options, which have further enhanced their operational efficiency. | |
