Why it works

The story leads with a concrete scale number (77 TB/month to 18 PB/year) that makes growth tangible and credible. It then layers in a second distinct transformation, the CNAME/TLS certificate story, where Filestack could not have kept a product feature at all without Fastly, which earns the New Capability secondary tag. The quotes from the VP of Engineering carry specific operational detail rather than generic praise, which lifts the piece above typical vendor-supplied filler.

Steal this

Anchor each product section with a before/after data point specific to that feature (15-minute invalidation to seconds, 12 certificates to hundreds), so every capability claim has its own mini proof rather than relying on one headline stat to carry the whole story.
