Why should you care?

CloudVerse e-commerce product images and SPA assets serve from edge worldwide.

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

What happened?

• Cache keys, TTLs, and purge strategy matter.
• Never cache personalized or auth responses at edge without Vary headers.

Practice next

1. Enable CDN on static bucket.
2. Set long TTL on hashed assets.
3. Configure API bypass.
4. Add origin shield region.
5. Purge cache on deploy via pipeline step.

Remember

Edge cache for static. Bypass dynamic API. Version assets with hash filenames.

APAC users see slow JS downloads.

Outcome: Front Door edge cache drops TTFB 60%.
