Case Study: Bukalapak accelerates migration and strengthens security with Fastly

Bukalapak blocks 1 million requests in 7 days with Fastly

Bukalapak, a top Indonesian ecommerce marketplace, faced operational friction with its legacy security vendor. The platform's fragmented tooling and lack of automation hindered its DevOps workflows and CI/CD pipeline. Poor visibility into security events and a cumbersome console further challenged the team as they scaled. Bukalapak needed a more flexible solution from Fastly to improve automation, visibility, and security without impacting user experience.

Fastly provided its edge cloud platform, including its CDN and Next-Gen WAF, which offered Terraform automation and robust observability tools. The migration resulted in no measurable performance loss for users. The reusable Terraform repository dramatically reduced per-site migration effort from a month to a week. Fastly's WAF also demonstrated strong security, blocking approximately 1 million malicious requests in a seven-day period, providing much better attack visibility and reducing unwanted load.
