Get to know the Fastly Compute@Edge environment with a basic starter that puts your Glitch origin website behind a Compute service.
For more details about other starter kits for Compute@Edge, see the Fastly developer hub
This starter is intentionally lightweight, and requires no dependencies aside from the @fastly/js-compute npm package. It will help you understand the basics of processing requests at the edge using Fastly. This starter includes implementations of common patterns explained in our using Compute@Edge and VCL migration guides.
The starter uses a default backend named origin_0 and returns the response from the origin without changes. Once deployed, you will have a Fastly service running on Compute@Edge that can carry out any processing at the edge that you add to the index.js code.
The template uses webpack to bundle index.js and its imports into a single JS file, bin/index.js, which is then wrapped into a .wasm file, bin/index.wasm using the js-compute-runtime CLI tool bundled with the @fastly/js-compute npm package, and bundled into a .tar.gz file ready for deployment to Compute@Edge.
