Hi! Fastly employee here — we're working on improving our accessibility for individuals/ smaller workloads. Not sure your monthly bandwidth usage, but we do have a dev test account which can be used for up $50 free traffic (it's pretty generous, more than enough for a test site) and now includes two TLS certs: https://www.fastly.com/blog/your-most-requested-update-for-f...
Also, I lead a program at Fastly called Fast Forward, which stewards our open internet efforts — if your work is related to FOSS we may be able to arrange free services or deep, deep discounts: https://www.fastly.com/fast-forward :)
Hey! I'm on Fastly's DevX team. Sorry for the 404, we had to make some corrections so we took it down to republish it. But we're super thrilled to see the enthusiasm here and I'm passing along the feedback you shared too! Thanks everyone
The addition of features like HTTP-based adaptive bitrate video, zero-trust networking, the cloud, and content delivery networks have prepared the internet to handle the unprecedented usage we're seeing.
