Fastly
Enterprise CDN and edge compute platform with volume-tiered bandwidth pricing and a metered image optimizer.
- CDN
- Yes
- Basic Network Services: $1,500/month, including 100M requests.
- Not documented
Who it suits.
High-traffic sites where volume-discount tiers actually kick in, or teams that want CDN and edge compute (Fastly Compute) on the same platform.
Consider something else if…
Traffic is modest — the $1,500/month entry plan for dedicated network services is priced for scale a smaller site won't reach, where a pay-as-you-go CDN has no equivalent floor.
