Use Cases
Based on CDN features and benefits, the following are a few key use cases:
Website Performance Optimization: The CDN's ability to cache static content and deliver it from edge servers nearest to the user's location significantly reduces website load time, ensuring that users experience minimal latency regardless of their geographical location.
Edge Computing: For serverless functions, using CDN to run the code on edge servers close to users facilitates improving application performance.
Dynamic Content Delivery: Leveraging CDN edge servers for deploying computational resources leads to reduced latency in the response time for dynamic content requests.
Software Distribution: With improved download speeds and reduced latency, you can use CDN to distribute software updates and patches to users worldwide.
API Request Optimization: By caching API responses using edge servers, you can accelerate access to backend services using the API.
Load Balancing: You can use CDN to manage traffic distribution to the nearest or fastest responding edge server in case of a server failover at any location, thus ensuring high availability and reliability of content delivery.
