Fastly Raises $10M For Content Delivery Network Built For Mobile, Real-Time World

fastlyFastly has raised $10 million in a Series B round for its SSD-powered content delivery network (CDN) used by the likes of Disqus, Twitter and GitHub. The round was led by August Capital.Fastly, founded by Artur Bergman, the former CTO of Wikia, uses a patent-pending fast-caching engine that delivers content at what the company says is the fastest recorded time to first byte. Fastly cachescontent, making it possible to do instant purges. For example, on a blog like TechCrunch, a writer may post and then a few minutes later update the story. Until the cache purges, readers will see the older version. As we all know, purges that do not happen quickly can make for a horrid user experience.
