Case Study: Shutterstock cuts storage-layer costs 68% and delivery costs $500K with Fastly
Key results
The challenge
Shutterstock needed multi-cloud, geo-diverse, high-performance object storage to hold and serve its large media catalog. The team wanted a known performance profile and guaranteed latency between its object store and the last mile where delivery is tuned.
The solution
Shutterstock adopted Fastly Object Storage alongside Fastly Compute and Fastly VCL, moving to a hardened, performant storage layer paired with Fastly's edge delivery.
“Within our first 90 days with Fastly, we delivered over 115 petabytes of content, cut storage layer operating costs by 68%, saved over $100,000 per month on primary object storage, and reduced delivery costs by $500,000—all while delighting our customers with a better price profile.”
