Fastly announced a partnership with Microsoft Azure. The strategic partnership integrates Fastly’s superior edge cloud platform with Microsoft’s Azure services, including Azure Data Explorer, Azure Blob Storage, and Azure Event Grid, to create a powerful, near-real-time data analytics solution. Already being used by global businesses like Taboola, the partnership empowers companies to improve accuracy and speed of business decision-making, leveraging big data to optimize product performance and deliver exceptional end-user experiences. The partnership between Fastly and Microsoft Azure takes these capabilities a step further to enable businesses to collect data in real-time from the edge, and pair that with other insights from their analytics and business intelligence tools in a central, integrated platform. Top brands can now instantly identify trends and patterns at scale to make immediate, impactful business decisions informed by big data. Unlike traditional edge solutions, Fastly provides 100% of logs in real-time from the network edge, allowing businesses to monitor site performance and troubleshoot issues as they happen. In partnering with Microsoft, Fastly integrates its real-time data logging capabilities for automatic ingestion and analysis of application and engagement performance.
