CDN

Foundations → Platform → Ops → Projects

Foundations · 1 — Cloud & networks · ~6 min · Cloud — Networking & Infrastructure

What is this?

A CDN caches static (and sometimes dynamic) content at edge locations near users.

Why should you care?

CloudVerse product images and JS should not all come from origin every time.

See it live — copy this example

Use AWS/Azure/GCP free tier or local Docker/Kind. Sketches and YAML are meant to be typed and adapted.

# CloudFront/Azure CDN idea
# origin: s3/blob static bucket
# cache: /assets/* long TTL
# /index.html short TTL or versioned filenames

What happened?

Version static assets for cache busting.
Protect origin so clients cannot bypass the CDN easily.

Practice next

Put assets behind CDN.
Set long TTL on hashed files.
Purge after bad deploy once.
Measure origin vs edge hit ratio.
Add compression.

Remember

Edge cache. Version assets. Protect origin.

CloudVerse asset CDN

Images served from edge.

Outcome: Origin bandwidth drops.
