Case Study: Storytel achieves seamless global audiobook delivery with Fastly

Storytel - Customer Case Study

Storytel, the Sweden-based audiobooks and ebooks streaming service, needed to scale its content delivery as it expanded from the Nordics to more than 2 million global subscribers. Its existing setup could not provide the bandwidth, reliability, or smooth experience required in new markets, and early performance in India showed the need for a stronger global delivery solution. Storytel evaluated CDN options, including Fastly, to support its growing streaming demands.

Storytel chose Fastly CDN to deliver content globally with better performance and reliability. Fastly helped raise cache hit ratios, reduce load on Storytel’s origin, and free up significant data center capacity, while also providing programmable edge capabilities and responsive Slack-based support. The result was a consistently high-quality experience for users worldwide, with lower egress costs and stronger scalability for Storytel’s international growth.
