The global edge cloud provider’s leadership
takes a look back at 2019’s major shifts in internet infrastructure
to understand what they mean for the future of the internet in 2020
and beyond.
Fastly, Inc. (NYSE: FSLY), provider of a global edge cloud
platform, today released its “Behind the Screens” retrospective
detailing 2019’s notable milestones in internet infrastructure,
from the increased adoption of modernized protocols, to the growth
in reach and capacity of global high-speed internet, and more.
Fastly’s CTO and co-founder, Tyler McMullen, anticipates that these
advancements, combined with the rise of WebAssembly and the
extension of code portability across platforms and devices, set the
programming world up for achieving broader value from serverless
computing.
The State of Internet Infrastructure in 2019
This year saw a groundswell of grassroots protocol improvements,
sweeping shifts toward encryption due to increased focus on data
privacy, and a preview into WebAssembly’s possibilities at the
edge, as well as:
- New satellites that took to the sky and submarine cables that
were installed to grow capacity around the globe.
- Congestion control reimagined through BBR, and increased
privacy and security of DNS with DNS over HTTPS.
- Certificate logs that grew significantly, creating greater
transparency that helped curb impersonators.
- Developers who fell deeper in love with WebAssembly (Wasm) and
all of its possibilities beyond the browser.
- Rust maintaining its momentum as a well-loved language,
solidifying itself as an ideal language for WebAssembly and edge
computing.
2020 Ushers in True Platform Independence Through
WebAssembly
Walker reports that 2020 will be the first year customer
experience outweighs price and product as a key differentiator.
Brands must deliver those experiences at lightning speed and with
steadfast reliability across a growing number of devices and
platforms to keep end users happy. McMullen anticipates that,
supported by these notable and ongoing infrastructure evolutions,
2020 will see the platform-independent natures of Wasm and the
WebAssembly System Interface (WASI) help bring those experiences to
life through more portable programming across platforms and
devices.
Today, companies typically build code across many different
platforms: internal servers, cloud and serverless computing, mobile
phones, and even embedded devices. Meanwhile, the way programming
develops software still looks like it did when there was only one
platform to deploy to. Alongside the power of serverless computing,
more portable programming possibilities opened up by Wasm mean
developers can deliver the fast, reliable end user experiences
brands and enterprises are counting on them to build.
“Imagine taking code that you’ve written, and running it not
just on the place that it was intended for, but at scale, across
entirely different platforms,” says McMullen. “Think laptops,
watches, TVs, or a camera that's plugged into your network at home
— not to mention at the edge, on and off a server, and everywhere
else. If it catches on the way we believe it might, and alongside
the growing serverless computing landscape, it will fundamentally
change how people around the world approach programming next
year.”
Fastly President Joshua Bixby adds, “We’re dreamers at Fastly,
and we’ve been dreaming about making more things possible at the
edge since the company was founded eight years ago. A world built
on serverless computing and greater portability in programming
means we can take those big ideas and combine them with the power
of the edge technology available to us to further our mission: to
help brands deliver the experiences their end users expect, and
help them maintain the trust our customers work so exceedingly hard
to build with their communities.”
