Transcript

James Governor: I’m James from RedMonk. This is Dominic from Fastly, and we’re here to talk to you about why you should attend Fastly Xcelerate 2025, in London, June 18th. Last year they had some great customer stories and that was one of the reasons I want to go to the event again. And this year they’ve got some great customers again. So ITV, literally anyone that’s watched television in this country knows about ITV. Got to be interested in how they produce those events at scale. What does it mean to do that? And learning about that is something that I’m definitely interested in. The other customer that I really want to see is Dunelm. So Dunelm, if you bought home furnishings you know about Dunelm. Their e-commerce story is really interesting and particularly the work they’ve done in DevSecOps. It’s a fascinating organisation. I know it’ll be a fascinating story. I’m looking forward to hearing more about that. So, Dominic, what’s exciting you about customers and the customer story at Xcelerate 2025?

Dominic Fee: Thanks, James. Yeah, well, to be honest, I’m really excited about our customer workshops we’ve got coming up. There are some really exciting ones, everything from content delivery to compute to security. You’ll learn a bunch in those workshops. You’ll also get the opportunity to talk to like minded people. One of the things we love doing with these events is getting customers and prospects together to talk about their challenges that they’re trying to solve. With the platform, you’ll also have direct one on one access to meet experts, whether that’s at our product showcase hub, looking at demos, or whether you’re just asking for technical advice tailored to your needs.

James: Customer stories, meeting the people, building the platform, an intimate event. What more do you want? We’ll see you at Xcelerate 2025.

Dominic: See you there, James.
