Fastly also don’t support proxying WebSockets. They told us we should switch to long polling which would have driven up our costs with them significantly since they charge per request — funny how that works.

Still, definitely the most interesting CDN if you can’t do your own thing. Network still isn’t where Akamai or EdgeCast are. Lots of good people there, though.



And if anyone needs more than just proxying WebSockets, there's Fanout Cloud which can manage WebSockets without requiring 1:1 connections with the origin.
