Description: Fastly operates a 410TB global network designed to make your applications more secure, faster, and more dynamic. We also give open source and public-good organizations like the PSF free services to operate PyPI and other Python systems as scalably and securely as possible. Over the past year, Fastly has been working with the PSF to develop a new approach for BGP anycast and DNS operations to fully automate performing routing to intelligently avoid underperforming routes in real time. As a result, we saw significant performance improvements worldwide for the PSF, Fastly’s network operations, and all Python developers by extension. Learn how you’re already benefitting from these breakthroughs!
