Computing at the edge is only really starting to come into fashion now. But Tyler McMullen has known the merits of working at the edge for a long time. As the CTO of Fastly, he’s been advocating for the edge and helping companies such as The New York Times and others realize that through Fastly and edge computing, you can create a whole new and better experience for your users. He explains all of that and so much more — including his unexpected love of raccoons — on this episode of IT Visionaries. 

• Explaining the benefit of working at the edge
• How being open source is mutually beneficial to the developer community and Fastly
• What is the current state of the edge and who will be the main users in the future?
