Fastly versus my own hosted Varnish -


what benefits of using fastly versus having own self-hosted varnish? there additional benefits , features fastly provides regular varnish not, or fastly managed varnish in same way cloudamqp hosted , managed rabbitmq?

i stumbled accross question, know asked while ago i'm going try , answer regardless.

you correct in assuming fastly manages varnish instances you, don't have deal manually managing servers. different concept cloudamqp however; cloudamqp managed rabbitmq system lives in specific datacenter, perhaps multi-az enabled failover purposes.

fastly full blown content delivery network means have machines running varnish on world increase user's experience because of lower latency. example if australian user visits website retrieving cached content via fastly's australian machines, whereas if connect own varnish instance he'd have connect instance in u.s. introduce lot more latency. on top of wouldn't improve speed, reliability. single varnish instance having failure quite likely, fastly's global network of 1000s of machines running varnish collapsing unlikely.

so sum you:

  1. speed
  2. reliability

rene.
