I noticed that Fastly Next Gen WAF customers span an incredibly diverse range of industries, but they share a common thread: they're companies with significant digital footprints serving large customer bases. The list includes major retailers like Nordstrom and Foot Locker, media companies like Bloomberg and Fox Corporation, financial services firms, automotive dealerships, and tech platforms like Spotify and Mozilla. What unites them is that they all operate digital properties where security and performance directly impact revenue and customer trust.

These are overwhelmingly mature, established enterprises. The signals are clear: many mention decades of history (companies founded in the 1970s, 1980s, or earlier), they employ hundreds to tens of thousands of people, several are publicly traded or have received substantial debt financing, and they frequently cite industry awards and recognition. Even the automotive dealerships, while individually smaller, are typically part of family-owned groups with 30-60 years of operating history. These aren't startups experimenting with product-market fit. They're established operations protecting existing revenue streams.
