Content Delivery Networks (CDNs)

Content delivery networks (CDNs) serve static assets via globally distributed servers to improve web app loading speed.

CDN resources

  • The 5 hour CDN explains the basics of what CDNs are and how they are a combination of many standard web server components, but used globally and at scale.

  • MaxCDN vs CloudFlare vs Amazon CloudFront vs Akamai Edge vs Fastly compares and contrasts the most popular CDN services based on features, performance and pricing. Note that Full Stack Python uses Cloudflare to serve all content.

  • Crushing, caching and CDN deployment in Django explains how to use the django-compressor package with the django-storages library to deploy static assets for a Django application to a CDN.

  • Do not let your CDN betray you: Use Subresource Integrity describes the security implications for CDNs with unexpectedly modified content and how Subresource Integrity in modern web browsers can mitigate this vulnerability if used properly.

What's next for deploying your web app?

How do I log errors that occur in my application?

How do I automate server configuration and deployments?

I want to learn more about app users via web analytics.
