Case Study: Sonatype achieves 100% uptime and massive global scale with Fastly

Sonatype - Customer Case Study

Sonatype, the leader in software supply chain automation and operator of Maven Central (the primary repository for Java components), serves millions of developers and handled tens of billions of requests. Rapid, sustained growth — more releases, higher bandwidth and much greater request volume — created a need for a CDN that could scale reliably, provide instant content updates and offer deep visibility, something their previous provider’s opaque tooling could not deliver.

Fastly’s Varnish-based platform gave Sonatype API-driven control, custom VCL, instant purge/surrogate-key support and real-time analytics with log streaming to S3, enabling fast diagnostics and security response. The result: Sonatype more than doubled monthly releases while tripling bandwidth and quadrupling request traffic with zero service interruptions and 100% uptime, plus faster vulnerability mitigation and a streamlined data pipeline for commercial products.
