A CDN can rapidly and securely deliver clients' static and dynamic content to end-users using the caching process. The CDN caches static content by copying it from the original server, including images, videos, JavaScript, or CSS, and storing it on its servers. When a user requests a website or app, wants to live stream a video, or download software, the closest server promptly responds, delivering the cached content. For dynamic content, some CDN providers, like Orange Wholesale International, rely on edge computing to serve personalized content based on real-time user interactions.

Content Delivery Networks (CDN) offer numerous benefits for website or application owners, regardless of the industry:

• Improve page speed and server response;
• Reduce network latency;
• Provide a more secured environment with built-in DDoS attack protection;
• Guarantee reliability and redundancy trough optimized content distribution with server load balancing;
• Ease scalability and global reach with geographically distributed Points of Presence (PoPs);
• Reduce costs by improving bandwidth consumption.

CDN services can significantly improve performance on any device, making them perfect for companies aiming to share their content at a global scale, experiencing high traffic regularly or during certain periods of the year or serving rich media or dynamic content.

When choosing a CDN, prioritize performance optimization by ensuring low latency and fast content delivery, especially in regions where your audience is located.
Scalability and flexibility are crucial for managing current and future traffic demands, while reliability and redundancy through multiple edge locations will minimize downtime risks.
Security features such as DDoS protection and SSL/TLS encryption are essential, and cost-effectiveness should be assessed in terms of pricing structures and overall value.

• Seamless Application Deployment: With CDB Edge Compute, developers can easily deploy their applications across our extensive network of caching servers. This ensures that your content is always close to the end-user, reducing load times and enhancing overall performance.

• Low Latency, High Efficiency: By executing applications at the edge, you can significantly decrease response times, providing users with a smoother and faster experience. This approach minimizes the burden on your origin servers, allowing them to focus on core tasks without overwhelming resource demands.

• Dynamic User Experiences: Tailor your applications to meet the unique needs of your audience. CDB Edge Compute allows for real-time code execution in response to user requests, ensuring that the content delivered is relevant and engaging.

When an end-user or viewer makes a request, the Edge Compute runtime springs into action. It executes the necessary code at the edge, swiftly generating a response that is sent directly to the user. This streamlined process not only enhances performance but also fosters a more engaging and interactive experience.
