Disable Fastly

Hey there,

how can we disable Fastly on our domain/services?

The docs don't mention Fastly at all.

We have Cloudflare in front of our websites anyway. Having Fastly in between (a) can increase latency and (b) adds another layer of infrastructure that can break. In fact, it broken multiple times already (first some SAN certificate issues, then some 403 errors). That affected our customers.

Thanks,

Marc

I'm not a Railway employee, so don't fully take me for granted, but

Fastly itself will not be able to be disabled

Everything going to Railway goes through Fastly on layer 3

a) While true, I do think this has minimal effect (and I'm guesstimating that some Fastly PoPs are on the same datacenter campuses)

b) Railway is actively working on resolving these!

+1 for all the reasons mentioned in the OP. This is a very concerning development for me.

I also support this idea.
