Case Study: Bending Spoons achieves 50% lower latency and significant egress cost savings with Fastly

Bending Spoons with Flexible Fastly 50% latency reduction plus significant egress cost savings

Bending Spoons, the company behind products like Remini, Evernote, Meetup, and WeTransfer, needed a flexible edge cloud partner to support a fast-growing global portfolio, heavy traffic, and frequent acquisitions. After inheriting Akamai through the Evernote acquisition, the team looked to Fastly for a more reliable, origin-independent service with better Terraform support, faster config changes, and stronger performance for critical workloads.

Fastly implemented CDN and egress services for Bending Spoons, using VCL, cache invalidation, and integrations with tools like Prometheus and BigQuery. The results were strong: Fastly helped cut median image-download latency by about 50%, improved performance for users worldwide, and delivered significant egress cost savings through the Fastly and Google partnership.
