Domains, reimagined: Faster, safer, and fully independent from service configuration

Fastly has introduced a new domain management system that treats domains as independent resources, no longer tied to service configurations, to enhance flexibility, reduce deployment risks, and simplify workflows. This update allows for easier management of domains, certificates, and routing relationships, enabling users to switch services without downtime and manage multiple domains without service pinning. Key benefits include version-less domains, the ability to prepare domains with TLS certificates without immediate service assignment, and no domain service limits, making it suitable for large teams and multi-service architectures. The update includes a new Domains management page for user interface navigation, and users of Fastly CLI and Terraform provider are encouraged to upgrade to versions that support the new model. While the new system offers advantages, it also introduces considerations like changes to how multi-level wildcards and purging are handled, aligning with DNS and TLS standards. Fastly acknowledges potential migration challenges but emphasizes future features that will be exclusive to the new system, encouraging users to transition and enjoy the enhanced flexibility, simplicity, and security.
