Unparalleled Performance: Bring Your C++ Logic to the Edge

Fastly has released a Beta version of its official C++ SDK for Fastly Compute, aimed at developers building performance-critical applications by leveraging the speed and control of C++ alongside Fastly's global network and WebAssembly (Wasm) runtime. This SDK enables developers to execute highly optimized C++ code at the edge, offering new capabilities such as executing core business logic at the speed of the Fastly network and utilizing familiar C++ bindings to edge services like KV Stores and Config Stores. The C++ SDK supports a polyglot architecture, allowing integration with languages like Rust and JavaScript, which promotes efficiency and reduces operational costs. It also enhances security with Wasm's memory-safety features and provides asynchronous handling for network operations, making it suitable for use cases in gaming, IoT, and interactive media. Fastly's Wasm runtime offers fast cold-start times, providing a significant architectural advantage for developers seeking to optimize edge computing applications.
