Case Study: Layercake scales live streaming and lowers infrastructure costs with Fastly

LayerCake scales live streaming at the edge with Fastly and sub-millisecond object storage

LayerCake, a Sydney-based digital engineering company, needed to scale its live streaming production platform to handle massive traffic spikes during major events without building costly origin infrastructure. They turned to Fastly's edge cloud platform to address this challenge of performance and scalability.

By implementing Fastly's Compute and Object Storage, LayerCake shifted core processing to the edge. This reduced their total cost of ownership and provided astounding performance, with Object Storage read times under one millisecond. Fastly's solution enabled LayerCake to build intelligent, scalable services, including a unified authentication framework for live streaming, which would be impossible without the vendor's edge capabilities.
