Case Study: Yelp achieves fast, secure, personalized experiences at scale with Fastly

Yelp - Customer Case Study

Yelp (and its Eat24 service) is a global, user-generated content platform with tens of millions of monthly visitors that depends on real-time, personalized review content. The company needed to deliver frequently changing, difficult-to-cache pages quickly and securely at global scale while protecting user data and staying resilient to DDoS attacks—all without slowing engineering velocity.

Yelp adopted Fastly’s edge cloud and CDN to cache pages, accelerate dynamic and personalized assets, terminate TLS at the edge, mitigate DDoS, and enable instant purges and realtime config changes. The result: lower time-to-first-byte and improved performance worldwide, consistent delivery of tailored reviews, faster deployments and troubleshooting through realtime analytics, and trusted technical support that let Yelp focus on product innovation.
