New Fastly Integration for Inform — attribute and optimize CDN spend faster

Gain unified visibility into Fastly costs and usage

Modern teams rely on edge/CDN to deliver experiences, but CDN spend often lives outside core cloud cost workflows—making it hard to attribute costs by product, service, or team.

We built the Fastly integration to bring CDN costs into the same place you manage cloud spend, so FinOps and engineering can align on one source of truth for allocation, reporting, and optimization.

What's New

We’re excited to unveil Fastly Integration, the latest addition to nOps Inform, designed specifically to help your business bring Fastly costs and usage into Inform for accurate allocation, showback/chargeback, and optimization. Starting today, you can access this new integration directly in the nOps Settings.

Set Up In Minutes

Connecting Fastly to nOps is quick and secure. Simply provide your Fastly API token, and nOps will automatically establish the connection, validate your credentials, and display the integration’s health status in real time—so you can start attributing and optimizing CDN costs within minutes.

Key setup details:

Daily data updates; developer credits handled
Usage types supported: Bandwidth, Requests, Subscriptions, Bot Management
Units normalized to GB, Requests, or Monthly as applicable

Allocate Fastly Costs

Automatically map Fastly services and their costs to applications, teams, and environments in nOps. Effortlessly enable accurate showback/chargebacks, aligning CDN spend with owners to drive accountability and optimization.

Benefits include:

All of your cloud and CDN costs in a single pane of glass
Consisted, automated allocation across all of your services
Shared dashboards for FinOps and Engineering

Visibility into all of your Fastly costs in nOps Inform

nOps Inform delivers true end-to-end visibility across cloud, CDN, SaaS, Kubernetes, and GenAI workloads. Fastly data integrates directly into the same dashboards and analytics you already use. In addition to cost allocation, visibility features include:

Comprehensive Cost Analysis: Hourly visibility into all infrastructure, edge, and SaaS costs with report templates built by FinOps experts
Anomaly Detection: Identify and resolve spend anomalies in real time before they escalate.
Forecasting: ML-powered projections to predict future costs and track budget adherence.
Budgets & Cost Targets: Set and monitor cost goals across teams, services, or environments to ensure accountability and prevent overspend.

Who Benefits Most

FinOps Analysts	Engineering Managers	Product Owners
Faster allocation and reporting; unify CDN with cloud spend; identify optimization opportunities earlier.	Clear ownership of CDN costs by service/team; shared metrics for performance vs. cost; fewer context switches.	Visibility into feature and product costs using edge/CDN; better trade-off decisions using one source of truth.

How It Works

1) Navigate to Settings → Integrations → Inform → Fastly.

2) Select “Add Fastly Integration.”

3) Enter your Fastly API Token (read permissions are sufficient) and click Setup.

4) nOps validates the connection and surfaces integration health (“Integrated,” “Not integrated,” or “Action required”) with actionable error messages.

5) Map Fastly spend and usage in Inform for accurate allocation and reporting.

What you’ll see in Inform:

Region-level breakdowns for Bandwidth, Requests, and Subscription items with cost per unit, usage, and total cost
Tiered pricing handled automatically; when multiple rates exist in a region, cost per unit is shown as “Varies by tier”
Requests displayed in individual request units; rates normalized to ensure rate × units = amount
Monthly period filtering (year/month) with daily refresh; the most recent day may be partially processed
