Advancements propel Fastly’s mission to enhance
trust and security for its customers and across the internet
Fastly, Inc. (NYSE: FSLY), a leader in global edge cloud
platforms, today announced two major developments in its domain
name API and Transport Layer Security (TLS) capabilities: the
acquisition of Domainr, an ICANN-accredited real-time domain
availability API provider, as well as general availability of
Certainly, Fastly’s publicly-trusted TLS Certification Authority
(CA). These developments significantly advance Fastly’s edge cloud
platform as well as its mission to foster a global web
infrastructure that is more accessible, trusted and secure.
“Through the availability of Certainly and the acquisition of
Domainr, we are continuing to empower our customers to own and
control what they create, and how they create it – all backed by
the most trusted and reliable domain availability and TLS
experience possible,” said Fastly CEO Todd Nightingale. “By
offering these fundamental building blocks alongside our
industry-leading content delivery network, Compute@Edge, and
beyond, Fastly is proud to be an engine for the best builders and
the best platforms on the internet.”
Certainly provides simple, trusted TLS certificates for
Fastly customers
TLS provides security and legitimacy to websites or applications
by serving traffic over HTTPS. For TLS to work, domains need to be
validated and approved by a trusted CA that issues certificates to
web servers, thus confirming ownership of a site. In response to
several CA incidents affecting Fastly customers, Fastly set out to
create a modern CA that embraces industry best practices, and
released Certainly in limited availability in February 2023.
Certainly gives users the option to create and manage
certificates issued by Certainly to secure any website or
application programming interface (API) endpoint served by Fastly.
By bringing the essential capability of issuing TLS certificates
in-house, Certainly gives Fastly greater control over the level of
service it provides throughout the entire certification lifecycle,
from provisioning to renewing, all backed by Fastly’s speedy global
delivery network. By offering a 30-day validity period paired with
automation, Certainly achieves a higher level of security by
reducing the time in which a compromised certificate is usable.
Certainly also simplifies management of certificates and renewals,
even for hundreds of thousands of domains.
Domainr acquisition sets the stage for enhanced domain
simplification and security
As a direct complement to Certainly’s role in verifying the
authenticity and trustworthiness of a website and domain, the
acquisition of Domainr will enable Fastly to integrate Domainr's
real-time domain availability API into Fastly services and
infrastructure. With direct, privileged access to top-level domain
registries, the Domainr API instantly checks if a domain is
available, with no false positives. The API also helps customers
monitor critical domains and uncover at-risk domains before they
change hands.
“Domains are one of the primary foundations for trust and
identity on the internet, but they have often been complex or
inaccessible to work with. Domainr is truly unique, and this small
acquisition sets the stage for Fastly to innovate in making it
faster, safer and easier for everyone to build on the power of
domains,” said Anil Dash, Head of Glitch and Vice President of
Developer Experience at Fastly. “Just as Fastly’s security products
look at the entire internet as a whole to anticipate and prevent
attacks, Domainr’s API and unique view of the domain name ecosystem
will enable new ways of preventing risks around domains in the
future. Added together, Certainly and Domainr are great examples of
how Fastly is working to make the entire internet better for all
users, at every layer of its infrastructure.”
Domainr also helps developers brainstorm for ideation and
creation of app and business names with its instant search and
context-aware suggestion capability, highlighting relevant and
available top-level domains even if the .com is taken.
Fastly customers can now look forward to superior end-to-end
services and customer support for all TLS and domain name
availability needs as Fastly continues to expand its infrastructure
capabilities.
