Amazon CloudFront is a content delivery network that speeds up distribution of web content by delivering cached content from edge locations close to users. When a user requests content, the request is routed to the nearest edge location which checks its cache. If the content is cached, it is delivered, otherwise the request is forwarded to the origin server and the content is cached for future requests. Users configure origins like S3 buckets and distributions, and CloudFront delivers requests using the distribution's domain name or the user's own domain. The document discusses using CloudFront with Marcombox to improve loading times for large files by leveraging caching and compression. Issues with serving certain file types from S3 and EC2 origins are also addressed.

This document discusses design patterns for high availability used by Amazon CloudFront. It describes four key patterns: 1) FoodTasting which involves deploying changes incrementally to a small subset of servers first, 2) handling flash crowds by caching content, serving only necessary content, and using scheduled auto scaling, 3) implementing defense in depth strategies like multi-implementation and sharding to reduce the blast radius of failures, and 4) protecting against time bombs by jittering deployments and configurations across servers to avoid homogeneous outages. The document provides examples of how these patterns have been implemented in CloudFront and AWS services.

This document discusses how Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) like Akamai use DNS to direct users to optimal servers. It explains that while this works well when users use their ISP's DNS, third-party DNS resolvers like Google DNS don't provide location data, hindering optimal routing. The document then introduces EDNS0 client-subnet, which allows resolvers to provide the user's IP prefix to authoritative nameservers. This allows nameservers to select optimal servers based on user location. It addresses privacy, security and implementation considerations, and shows how EDNS0 client-subnet improves performance for OpenDNS users in India.

Web caching and content distribution networks aim to improve performance and reduce bandwidth usage. Caching stores previously requested content for future use. Proxies and CDNs place cached content on edge servers near users. When a request is made, the user is redirected to the closest cached copy to minimize latency. CDNs use DNS to map requests to nearby surrogate servers that hold replicated content. This allows the content to be served locally instead of traveling over long distances to the origin server.

The document discusses using content tagging and purging to improve caching strategies for dynamic content at the edge network. It describes how caching everything can lead to serving stale content. Instead, tagging content with surrogate keys allows caching both dynamic and static content, while purging specific resources by tag when they change. This provides better performance than low expiry caching while maintaining freshness. Purging is fast through the Fastly API. Tag-based purging allows invalidating multiple related resources at once from the edge cache.

Studies have identified speed as the single most critical factor for e-commerce conversion. There are lots of changes you could make to your website, but none of them are as risk-free as increasing speed. Some people like yellow, some like blue, but nobody likes slow.
