CDN Setup

Configure content delivery networks for fast, reliable global asset delivery with proper caching, invalidation, and security.

When to Use

• Serving static assets (JS, CSS, images, fonts) globally with low latency.
• Offloading traffic from origin servers to reduce compute costs.
• Adding TLS termination and DDoS protection at the edge.
• Implementing geo-based routing or content restrictions.
• Accelerating API responses with edge caching.

Prerequisites

• Domain with DNS management access.
• Origin server or S3/R2 bucket with content to serve.
• AWS CLI configured (for CloudFront).
• Cloudflare account with zone configured (for Cloudflare CDN).
• Terraform 1.5+ (for infrastructure-as-code examples).
