Now available: Self-purchase and simplified vCPU billing for Fastly Compute

Compute

Hi everyone!

We are excited to announce that Fastly Compute, KV Store, Secret Store, and Fanout are all available for immediate self-purchase via credit card. Everything comes with a generous free tier so you can sign up today and start checking everything out without talking to sales.

Simplified billing:

We’ve heard your feedback on predictability and simplified our billing model. We removed the duration metric (previously calculated as memory calculation over time in GB-sec).
The new model focuses strictly on:

  1. Requests

  2. vCPU milliseconds (consumption)

This means that you only pay for the actual processing power your code requires. The more efficient your code, the less you pay. And there is an added benefit here too. By optimizing your software to run leaner, you not only improve performance, you minimize the electricity required to power your apps across our network. You can even track these improvements using our sustainability dashboard to understand how more efficient code can contribute to reduced carbon emissions.

Sign up today and be sure to check out the pricing page for a full breakdown of the new free tiers.

Happy coding!

The Fastly Team

just saw this on the management site after not having to go there for a good long time:

We are transitioning away from the Compute services development trial in favor of Fastly’s expanded free tier of services. To access the new free tier, click Purchase Compute or contact your account manager.

ladies and gentlemen I will be seeing what happens when I try to contact my account manager about this :laughing:

and in case anyone would care to hear what happens, nothing. I’m a self-serve user so I don’t have an account manager. and a message to sales receives no reply for a week. that’s what :person_shrugging:

well, were you interested in signing an annualized contract @wh0? :wink: If not, that’s what self-service is designed for.

I’ve been continuing to watch out for something under $60/yr :smiley:
