But Amazon have their own CDN. Amazon cloudfront service.
Or do they do slightly different things?
They're both CDNs, but Fastly is supposed to be 100% real time, which makes it popular for news sites, retail, etc. It's possible that Amazon use both in different applications, but there's definitely a few things Fastly does that Cloudfront can't

Amazon's site was up but a lot of images weren't loading. Anyway, I was going to buy something then decided after not being able to see the page properly I couldn't be bothered. Saved myself some £££

Counterintuitively, the outage and recovery led to a rise in Fastly’s stock price, which was up 12% over the course of Tuesday. The increase may have been because the company had demonstrated an effective incident response plan, or simply because the outage had served to make investors more aware of the scale of the Fastly’s business and the size of its customer base.
Internet outage illustrates lack of resilience at heart of critical services
The effects will not have been quite so rosy for Fastly’s customers. At Amazon alone, for instance, the outage could have lost the company $32m in sales, according to a calculation by the SEO agency Reboot.
