Fastly × Python Software Foundation (PyPI)
Fastly x Python Software Foundation, securing open-source infrastructure at 100k requests per second
98-99% cache hit rate, reducing backend load from 100,000 to 500-1,000 requests per second
Overwhelmed and exposed to staying open and protected at scale

Why it works
The story earns its Resilience tag by centering on threats that could break an open and free service, not on growth numbers. The cache hit rate metric does double duty, illustrating both the efficiency gain and the security rationale for offloading traffic before it reaches the backend. The decade-long relationship gives the piece credibility that a first-year case study cannot manufacture.
Steal this
Use a single infrastructure metric (98-99% cache hit rate) to simultaneously prove performance and justify security architecture, letting one number carry two arguments at once.
