We're moving! Get all the details before we switch platforms in December

Greetings Connectians!  Although we’ve been happily orbiting in this space station, the time has come to say farewell. But fear not, we’re on to bigger and better galaxies!  Fastly Connect will be joining with our other communities over in the Discourse universe—which means we’ll be docking alongside other excellent groups such as the Fastly Developer Community and the Glitch Community.  This new hub will be your go-to space for all things Fastly forums, which frees up two bookmarks and brings (almost) all the knowledge of the universe together in one convenient place.  We’ll be officially decoupling from this platform in mid-December, but if you’re ready to blast off now, just click this link to register for the new forums.  Thank you for being an important part of our community! We hope to see you again in the next iteration.
