    Good promo for Fastly! Fastly is a great company - effectively they're Varnish-as-a-Service, which is really a non-trivial SaaS. I hope this brings in some business for them.

    Good job Fastly. I would love to see metrics on bandwidth consumed from Arxiv. I always wonder how it and services like package repositories are able to provide their downloads for free.

    This is such great news, I've been annoyed with slow arXiv loads for a while and happy to hopefully see it fixed!
