Fast.io - A simple enterprise file delivery network that syncs

by•
Managing your static files on the major cloud platforms with a CDN is time-consuming and expensive. Fast.io automates everything you need to host and track files and static websites at enterprise scale. It's secure, highly-scalable, and maintenance-free.

This is a game changer! I love that I can quickly mock up a static site in a folder on my laptop and it's not just hosted online, but magically distributed over an actual CDNs! The integration with all of these incredible cloud storage offerings (Dropbox, Google Drive etc) means that we can have out of the box collaboration on site data and assets. As we move images and content and other assets to a production folder on Fast.io everything is instantly brought online and updated with just a drag and drop. You guys are amazing! Great product and great hunt!

@deeda Thanks!! I'm so glad you liked it! Especially that you got the "magic" quality of it, you're actually not the first person to use that word when they first saw it and it's totally what we're going for. Let me know if you have any questions or are looking for any help! Would love to see what you build!

Fast.io is exactly what I've been looking for! I've been using Firebase to deploy static assets but they don't have an API and not the best CDN. I'll be moving my static assets to Fast.io and look forward to using this service lots in the future. Honestly, it's such a relief to have someone setup file sync and the CDN for you. Pricing is amazing too! ā¤ļø

Hi Product Hunt! šŸ‘‹ First, thank you very much for taking the time to check out our product today. We're excited to be officially launching! šŸ“– Background Before we started Fast.io, we were running an established cloud storage company with access to resources and infrastructure, but we would still turn to Amazon S3 to host static content. Unfortunately, S3 is frequently overly complicated and time-consuming to use because it requires manual uploading, a separate CDN configuration, a manual review of raw data logs, and tedious cache flushing every time we need to make an update. What we really wanted was to get things online quickly with the simplicity and ease of use of cloud storage without sacrificing the scale and performance of a CDN. ✨ Our solution We built Fast.io to tightly integrate with our current workflows. We wanted to keep using our preferred cloud storage (Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, MediaFire, Box, and GitHub) to manage files, an integrated CDN (Cloudflare and Akamai) for lightning-fast global deploys, and accurate analytics data reported back to Google Analytics and Mixpanel so we can keep collaborating and working the way we already do. Now, here we are, introducing our solution to our fellow designers, developers, and marketers who are looking for the best option for static file hosting. Fast.io is a simple enterprise file distribution network that supports: šŸŽ Free Features - Continuous integration synced from cloud storage or version control - Files up to 500MB each - Includes 100GB of free transfer per month - Foolproof Analytics collected directly on the CDN - Custom domains and free included SSL (HTTPS) - Automatic updates and global deployment from cloud storage or version control - Automatic image optimization - Automatic code minification - Automatic directory listings - Slack integration šŸš€Premium Features - Files up to 1GB each - Includes 200GB of free transfer per month - $0.06 per GB additional transfer - Password protection - Custom error pages šŸ¢Business Features - Files up to 20GB each - Includes 500GB free transfer per month - $0.05 per GB additional transfer In the future, we're adding real-time transitions, like watermarking documents, resizing images, and encoding video. Check out our free version, reserve your *.imfast.io URL (or add a custom domain) and let us know what you think. Happy Hunting, Tom Co-Founder https://youtu.be/AE09P17KfeE

Finally a easy way to deal with static landing pages from your own Google Drive!
Tom Langridge
@wesley_pennock I'm really glad you like it! If you host your landing page code in GitHub we work there too - even better in many cases and you can connect as many storage providers as you like. Using Google Drive and Dropbox allow you to host huge files - much bigger than GitHub supports by default. Let me know if you have any questions, we're here to help!

I am working on a personal data science product and need a place to host my Web App. Fast.io is easy to setup and has reasonable price! Very good user experience so far šŸ‘
Tom Langridge
@penny_peng_gao that's awesome! So glad to hear you like it. Let me know if I can answer any questions for you or help you get set up!
Jason J Wang

Tom Langridge
@jongbeau Thanks Jason! Let me know if I can help you get set up!
MediaFire
Your integration with MediaFire's cloud storage is fantastic. It takes MediaFire's file hosting to the next level of performance and reliability. We love the integration so much we're using Fast.io to host assets on the MediaFire website.
Tom Langridge
@mediafire Thanks MediaFire! We <3 you too! šŸ˜‚

I hope you succeed but I've read this a couple of times and watched the video, but I still have no idea what this product is, who its for, or what it even does. Is it just me? Is this product for someone like Facebook or Salesforce to use, or for everyday people? I can't imagine a large company using this, but again maybe it's just me. Sorry, will pass until I see an actual use case with a business model. I think your graphics are nice, but they need to tell an understandable story people can get behind.
Tom Langridge
@randalwalker Hi Randal, thanks for bringing up this point. We've work hard to articulate the concept that we're making enterprise-grade services available to everyone. Not just Facebook or Salesforce - in those contexts we expect to see adoption among small teams before we see it adopted at a company level. Currently, most of our customers are professionals like designers, developers, and marketers who are using Fast.io to deploy landing pages, large image and document assets, and app assets like audio and video that's streaming into mobile apps.
Lori Labian
It looks like a solid solution to getting content online quickly!
Tom Langridge
@lori_labian Thank you Lori! We're so glad you like it! Please let us know if you have any questions or if we can help you get set up!
