This optimization automatically routes your traffic to the nearest Fastly POP (in terms of network proximity) on our global network and reroutes around internet outages and other disturbances. Directing your traffic through Fastly's global networkįastly operates a domain name system (DNS) service specifically written to optimize getting your traffic to Fastly. Our partnership with Google in particular enables us to have direct connectivity to their cloud infrastructure. In addition to using your own servers as the source, we also support various cloud storage services as your origin, such as Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3), Google Cloud Storage (GCS), and Google Compute Engine (GCE) as your file origin. We accelerate your site by caching both static assets and dynamic content by acting as a reverse proxy to your origin server (also known as Origin Pull), but we do not provide services for uploading your content to our servers. Fastly's focus on automation, operational redundancy, and global delivery when building our infrastructure means our POPs often combine multiple physical sites to better serve densely populated markets. Other factors include connectivity, provider diversity, and our ability to build a scalable, performant modern network centered around internet infrastructure hubs to best support our customers' markets. Geographic distribution is just one of the factors Fastly considers when building its global infrastructure. In addition, our data centers API endpoint provides a list of all Fastly POPs, including their latitude and longitude locations.
