Fastly to Azion Migration Guide
A technical reference for engineering teams evaluating Fastly alternatives. Covers migrating Fastly CDN delivery, Compute, Next-Gen WAF (NGWAF), DDoS protection, storage, TLS, and observability services to Azion Web Platform.
Unified migration path
Map Full-Site Delivery to Applications, Compute to Functions, Edge Data Storage to KV Store, and Object Storage to Azion Object Storage.
Integrated security controls
Translate Fastly Next-Gen WAF (NGWAF), Bot Management, Edge Rate Limiting, and Fastly DDoS Protection into Azion WAF, Bot Manager, Firewall, and DDoS Protection.
Real-time visibility
Replace High Volume Logging, Log Explorer & Insights, and Domain or Origin Inspector with Data Stream, Real-Time Events, and Real-Time Metrics.

Migrate without disrupting production traffic
Translate Fastly services into Azion equivalents while running both platforms in parallel. Move Fastly CDN cache controls, Compute logic, edge data, TLS automation, logging pipelines, and Fastly WAF security policies before shifting traffic through DNS cutover.Complete Migration Guide
Cold-start-free scale
Functions execute immediately on Azion's distributed infrastructure, giving teams consistent first-request performance for distributed workloads.
Global network performance
Deliver applications from a distributed architecture designed for low-latency content, compute, storage, and security across Azion's global network.
Operational simplicity
Manage delivery, compute, certificates, storage, observability, and security policies from one platform with integrated workflows.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Azion a good Fastly alternative?
Yes. Azion is one of the leading Fastly alternatives, combining CDN delivery, compute, storage, WAF, bot management, and DDoS protection on a single platform. Compatible migration paths for Compute, Edge Data Storage, and Next-Gen WAF make the transition straightforward, with $300 in free credits to validate it.
How do Fastly delivery services map to Azion?
Fastly Full-Site Delivery maps to Azion Applications. Cache Reservation, Cache APIs, and Media Shield map to Azion Cache and Tiered Cache. Image Optimizer maps to Image Processor, and Object Storage maps to Azion Object Storage.
What is the equivalent of Fastly Compute?
Fastly Compute workloads migrate to Azion Functions. Teams can translate distributed logic into Functions, validate behavior in parallel, and gradually route production traffic to Azion during DNS cutover.
How do I migrate edge data from Fastly?
Fastly Edge Data Storage maps to Azion KV Store. Use KV Store for low-latency key-value access from Functions and Applications while preserving common distributed data patterns.
How do Fastly TLS services map to Azion?
Fastly Platform TLS, TLS Service Options, and Certainly map to Azion Certificate Manager. Certificate Manager centralizes TLS certificate provisioning and management for applications on Azion Web Platform.
What replaces Fastly logging and observability tools?
Fastly High Volume Logging maps to Azion Data Stream. Log Explorer & Insights maps to Real-Time Events, while Domain Inspector and Origin Inspector map to Real-Time Metrics.
How do Fastly security products map to Azion?
Fastly Next-Gen WAF (NGWAF) maps to Azion Web Application Firewall. Bot Management maps to Bot Manager, Edge Rate Limiting maps to Firewall, and Fastly DDoS protection maps to Azion DDoS Protection.
Comparing Fastly vs Cloudflare—why consider Azion?
Teams evaluating Fastly vs Cloudflare often shortlist Azion as well, because it combines CDN performance, programmable functions without cold starts, integrated WAF and DDoS protection, and transparent pay-as-you-go pricing on one platform. Migration guides are available for both Fastly and Cloudflare workloads.
Can I run Fastly and Azion in parallel during migration?
Yes. You can run both platforms at the same time, validate cache behavior, functions, TLS, logs, and security policies, then shift production traffic gradually through DNS cutover.
What should I validate before DNS cutover?
Validate origin routing, cache controls, Compute-to-Functions behavior, KV Store data access, certificate automation, logging destinations, WAF rules, rate limiting policies, and bot protection before moving production traffic.
