Fastly Compute Pricing, Features & Alternatives
Request-driven WebAssembly applications across a global edge network using supported language SDKs.
Fastly, best known as a CDN, introduced Compute@Edge in 2019 as a beta, took it to general availability in 2021, and in 2023 shortened the name to Compute as it matured into the company’s core compute platform. Compute starts request sandboxes and expires idle reusable sandboxes; that is execution scale-to-zero, not a promise of zero platform charges. Rollback depends on a retained prior service version that can be reactivated or cloned and activated.
Best for
Low-latency APIs, request transformation, authentication, personalization, security logic, and dynamic content processing at the CDN edge.
Watch out for
Compute uses a restricted WebAssembly environment rather than a conventional server or container runtime, and production access generally requires a paid Fastly account.

FAQ
Is Fastly Compute the same as Compute@Edge?
Yes. Fastly renamed Compute@Edge to Compute in 2023, so older references may still use the previous name.
Does Fastly Compute run Node.js?
No. Fastly uses Node.js for JavaScript development tooling and npm dependency management, but Node.js is not the production runtime. Compute builds JavaScript or TypeScript applications into WebAssembly, and runtime dependencies must be compatible with Fastly’s supported web-platform APIs.
How much does Fastly Compute cost?
Fastly Compute bills primarily by monthly request volume and vCPU-millisecond usage. Current pricing lists $0.50 per million requests and $0.05 per million vCPU milliseconds before volume-tier reductions, after recurring free allowances.
Does Fastly Compute support WebAssembly?
Yes. Fastly Compute runs WebAssembly components through its WASI-based runtime, with supported language toolchains compiling application code to WebAssembly for execution at the edge.
How does Fastly Compute pricing work for a typical app?
A typical Fastly Compute bill is driven by request count and vCPU-millisecond execution, with network and other Fastly services billed separately where applicable. Fastly applies recurring free allowances first and then uses declining volume tiers for Compute usage.
Is Fastly Compute free?
Fastly Compute has recurring free usage allowances rather than an unlimited free service. The free allowance includes 10 million requests and 100 million vCPU milliseconds per month before paid usage begins.
