# Fastly Guides

Configure Fastly caching, WAF, origin shielding, and compute services for dependable delivery.

- [Cloudflare and Fastly CDN Configuration](/en/guides/cloudflare-fastly-cdn-configuration.md): A provider-neutral CDN configuration checklist covering origins, TLS, cache rules, cache keys, purges, observability, testing, and rollback.

- [Fastly Caching with VCL](/en/guides/fastly-caching-vcl.md): Configure and validate Fastly VCL caching with explicit TTLs, a disciplined VCL cache key and TTL contract, correct Fastly pass behavior, origin-failure handling, shielding, staged activation, and practical rollback steps.

- [Fastly Next-Gen WAF](/en/guides/fastly-next-gen-waf.md): Set up and operate Fastly Next-Gen WAF policies safely with scoped signals and exclusions, request rules, simulation, logging, staged enforcement, and rollback.

- [Fastly Compute Deployment](/en/guides/fastly-compute-deployment.md): A practical, verified guide to Fastly Compute deployment: reproducible WebAssembly edge packages, explicit service configuration, secret handling, local and staged testing, observability, and a tested Compute rollback path.

- [Fastly Origin Shielding](/en/guides/fastly-origin-shielding.md): Configure Fastly origin shielding safely by choosing a shield near each origin, assigning it per backend, verifying cache-miss behavior, monitoring logs and headers, and retaining a rollback path.
