# Fastly

To learn more about and experince [Fastly][], particularly their

[Compute][wasm-compute] platform.

[fastly]: https://www.fastly.com/

[wasm-compute]: https://www.fastly.com/products/compute

[![ci](https://github.com/matanlurey/wasm-compute/actions/workflows/rust.yaml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/matanlurey/wasm-compute/actions/workflows/rust.yaml)

[![deploy](https://github.com/matanlurey/wasm-compute/actions/workflows/deploy.yaml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/matanlurey/wasm-compute/actions/workflows/deploy.yaml)

## Requirements

This repository was only setup and tested on an ARM64 Mac running macOS Sonoma (14.3).

Install [homebrew](https://brew.sh/), and then run:

```shell

brew bundle install

rustup-init

rustup target add wasm32-wasi

cargo install viceroy

```

If this is your first time using Fastly, you will need to [create an account](https://www.fastly.com/signup/).

## Examples

- [Hello Fastly](examples/hello-fastly/README.md), a Rust+WASM+Compute example.

### Frictions

There were some friction points I encountered while setting up this repository.

- Difficult to understand pricing and limits for Compute, _"Call Sales"_?

- When I signed up for an account I interpreted the required field "company"

  accidentally as _employer_, and it loosk like I'll have to contact support to

  change it (as I get an _Invalid request_ error when trying to update it).

- There are [API tokens](https://manage.fastly.com/account/personal/tokens)

  created called `manage.fastly.com browser session` that I never created, and

  I'm not sure if they are safe to delete or what they are for.

- When using `fastly profile create`, and I'm asked for an API key, the prompt

  says _Fastly API token:_, but the input is hidden, so it was hard to know if

  I was copy-pasting the correct value or not

  ().

- I eventually created one, but it was _wrong_ beacuse I created a

  "Read only token" ().

- When I tried creating a _global_ token, I got an error: _You must POST /sudo

  to access this endpoint_. Eventually it worked several minutes later.

- I enabled 2-factor authentication, but I noticed when I need sudo-level

  permissions (like creating a token), the second prompt (for the sudo-level)

  doesn't work if the 2FA code is still the same one that was used for the first

  prompt (I have to wait for a new code to be generated).

- Custom workflows don't support project directories

  ()

- I get a mysterious "provided viceroy_version() is not a valid semver" error

  on CI ().
