Authenticated CDN delivery for Fastly: edge state synchronisation via KV Store, multi-distribution support, traffic allocation, and resilient per-stream delivery configuration.
Streamcake's Fastly CDN service delivers authenticated stream playback through Fastly's global edge network. Per-stream delivery configurations are pushed directly to Fastly edge nodes via the KV Store API, ensuring real-time propagation of stream access and delivery rules. Multiple CDN distribution entries per service instance support independent domain mappings and per-entry settings. Traffic allocation controls route stream delivery load across distributions by configurable percentage. A resilient synchronisation layer with automatic retry and rate-limit awareness guarantees edge state consistency, while a high-speed batch update mode allows multiple stream configurations to be written to the edge in a single operation.

Features
Push per-stream delivery configurations directly to Fastly edge nodes via the KV Store API, ensuring real-time propagation of stream access and delivery rules across the global network.
Enumerate all configured CDN distribution profiles for display and selection in the Streamcake operator dashboard, enabling production teams to assign the right distribution to each stream.
Configure multiple CDN distribution entries per service instance, each with independent domain mappings and settings, supporting multi-property and multi-tenant delivery architectures.
Distribute stream delivery load across multiple CDN distributions by configurable percentage, enabling flexible traffic shaping and load balancing for high-scale live events.
Automatic retry with exponential backoff and rate-limit awareness ensures delivery configurations reliably reach all Fastly edge nodes, even under high API load conditions.
Write multiple stream delivery configurations to the Fastly edge in a single high-speed batch operation, reducing synchronisation latency for large concurrent event deployments.
Store and retrieve individualised delivery configurations at the edge, enabling fine-grained control of playback settings on a per-stream basis across all Fastly edge nodes.
Sensitive per-stream delivery settings are encrypted before being written to the Fastly KV Store, protecting configuration data at rest across the global edge network.
