jQuery CDN transfers 2 petabytes a month, averaging 21K req/s or 73TB daily. And still growing!

7M of the top 10M sites use jQuery. 500,000 embed it directly from the jQuery CDN. Making this the 4th largest JavaScript CDN.

Thanks to Fastly @fastlydevs for sponsoring the essential infrastructure that keeps so many sites working.

Did you know the servers and config behind it is all public and free open source software? Credit to @taavi!

2. Getting people in tech to believe that human communication is important

https://www.fastly.com/blog/unparalleled-performance-bring-your-logic-edge This is my first big project since joining @fastlydevs and I'm very hype about it. Literally C++ built on top of our Rust SDK, because having access to C++ does, in fact, still open doors to a lot of folks.

🚀 We love seeing what the developer community builds on Fastly!

An open source project just dropped that makes it possible to run MCP servers on Fastly (and other vendors) — a great example of innovation and collaboration in action.

👏 Big thanks to the community for pushing the ecosystem forward. Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OE4U0vG1JD4

Preference for a specific AI foundation model is starting to feel like "coke vs. pepsi". Like, of course they're different flavors when you try them next to each other, but sometimes a cola soda is just a cola soda. The differences are so minute that it really comes down to personal working style and aesthetic preferences.
