New to Fastly — Exploring the Edge, One Step at a Time

Hey everyone,

Just joined the Fastly Community and figured I’d introduce myself before diving in. I’ve been working with cloud infrastructure and automation for a while, but I’m relatively new to Fastly’s edge platform — especially Compute and the more advanced CDN features.

Honestly, I’m not sure where to start. There’s a lot of powerful stuff here — from real-time APIs to security workflows — and I’m hoping to learn how others are structuring their setups, optimizing performance, and handling edge logic in production.

If there’s a good place for newcomers to get oriented, or threads where folks share practical use cases and deployment strategies, I’d love a nudge in that direction.

Looking forward to learning from you all — and hopefully contributing something useful as I get deeper into the stack.
