Fastly's On-the-Fly Packaging service

Fastly offers an "on-the-fly," dynamic, video-on-demand content packaging service. Rather than requiring you to pre-package all protocols of a viewer-requested video, Fastly allows you to dynamically package video content in different HTTP streaming formats in real time, using source files. That video content then becomes immediately available to viewers.

Image Optimizer

The Fastly Image Optimizer (Fastly IO) is a real-time image transformation and optimization service that caches and serves pixel-optimized, bandwidth-efficient images requested from your origin server. Fastly IO specifically supports a variety of input and output image formats.

Media Shield for Live

Media Shield for Live works with your existing architecture by making Fastly the origin to all of your end-user-serving CDNs.

Media Shield for VOD

Fastly Media Shield for VOD offers video-on-demand customers the ability to decrease origin traffic by reducing multiple CDN requests into a single request back to your origin.
