In this episode the TNS Makers, Tyler McMullen, Cofounder and CTO at Fastly, a leading content delivery networks (CDNs), sits down with TC Currie to talk about his passion for speed, why his engineers are required to spend part of their time on projects that are not likely to succeed, and what experienced engineers bring to the table (aside from their knowledge of C and Perl).

On a daily basis, 10% of the requests on the internet go through Fastly.   Building on his earlier conversation with TNS correspondent Alex Handy, McMullen discusses the business use cases for edge computing and shares the “very large” Fastly stack.

Javascript has been around for ages, since the Netscape days. It's the backbone of the modern web experience. However, the technology is being used beyond websites. In 2016, the jQuery Foundation and Dojo Foundation were merged to create the JS Foundation to 'drive broad adoption and ongoing development of key JavaScript solutions and related technologies.'

At the Open Source Leadership Summit (Sonoma, California), Alex Williams, founder of The New Stack, sat down with Kris Borchers, Executive Director of the JS Foundation, to talk about the focus of the foundation.

Dotmesh gives the capability to capture the stateful parts of your application during development and testing, said CEO and Founder Luke Marsden in this episode of The New Stack Makers. By saving the state, Dot-mesh is positioning itself as a platform to do more tests earlier and decreasing the number of bugs in production.

A developer will use version control for code, Marsden said. The same idea can be be applied to capture data and development states across multiple microservices. The model can be applied in different use cases such as detecting security vulnerabilities by monitoring the state of behavior across multiple data stores on different microservices. The idea is to enhance developer collaboration, continuous integration and better documentation through snapshots of development states earlier in the process.

The need to get content into users' hands, around the globe, in seconds has necessitated the growth of content delivery networks like Akamai, CloudFlare, and Fastly. As the CDN has become a core component of many large-scale systems, it's only natural that its usage would expand beyond simply caching files that are in high demand.

Fastly CTO and co-founder, Tyler McMullen, is thinking hard about what this edge computing scenario might look like. As we chatted with him, he ruminated on the possibilities and even the definition of edge computing, as a whole.
