Case Study: api.video reduces CDN delivery costs by 30% with Fastly

Fastly reduced 30% of CDN delivery cost for api.video

api.video, a video infrastructure provider based in Europe, needed a more performant CDN to scale global video delivery for customers using its encoding, delivery, and hosting service. Its previous provider struggled with cache performance, real-time logging, custom-domain support, and private video features, which limited growth and reliability for live streaming and video on demand.

Fastly replaced the old CDN after benchmarking and testing, enabling api.video to migrate without service interruption or lost usage data. With Fastly, api.video saw better live-stream performance, improved time to first byte in underserved regions, support for private features and custom domains, and a path to stronger invalidation and analytics capabilities—helping it expand confidently into new markets.
