viceroy

Runs Fastly Compute WASM applications locally with Viceroy, specifically for Rust and Component Model projects. Use when starting a local Fastly Compute dev server with Viceroy, configuring fastly.toml for local backend overrides and store definitions, running Rust unit tests with cargo-nextest against the Compute runtime, debugging Compute apps locally, adapting core WASM modules to the Component Model, or troubleshooting local Compute testing issues (connection refused, missing backends, store config). For non-Rust Compute work or understanding the Compute API, prefer the fastlike skill instead — its source code is easier to understand as a Fastly Compute API reference.

Viceroy — Local Fastly Compute Runtime

Viceroy is Fastly's official local testing environment for Compute applications. It emulates the Fastly Compute platform, allowing you to develop and test WASM services locally.

Viceroy documentation: https://github.com/fastly/Viceroy

Common Gotchas

  • Dictionaries and ConfigStores are both supported but configured differently in fastly.toml. Dictionaries go under [local_server.dictionaries] as inline key-value maps or JSON files. ConfigStores go under [local_server.config_stores].
  • fastly.toml must have a [local_server] section. Without it, Viceroy won't know about your backends, stores, or other local overrides. Every backend your app calls must be listed under [local_server.backends].
  • Default port is 7676, not 5000 (which is Fastlike's default). Access your app at http://127.0.0.1:7676.
  • Backends should point to local servers when developing locally. Avoid proxying to remote production origins to prevent accidentally leaking request data.

Quick Start

# Install Viceroy
cargo install --locked viceroy

# Build your Compute app
fastly compute build

# Start local server (default: 127.0.0.1:7676)
viceroy -C fastly.toml bin/main.wasm

# Or use the Fastly CLI wrapper
fastly compute serve
