Appwrite's CDN (Content Delivery Network) is a globally distributed system designed to enhance the speed, reliability, and security of your application's content delivery. With points of presence (PoPs) in over 120 cities worldwide, the CDN ensures low latency and consistent performance for users, no matter their location.
Key features
Global coverage: Fast access to content for users across continents through over 120 PoPs worldwide. Available on all projects.
Reduced latency: By caching static content at edge nodes, the CDN minimizes the distance between the user and the requested data, significantly reducing latency.
Dynamic content: The CDN supports both static and dynamic content delivery, seamlessly integrating with backend services hosted in Appwrite regions.
Content optimization: Appwrite's CDN uses advanced compression algorithms to reduce data transfer sizes, further improving delivery times.
High availability: Distributed edge nodes and redundant routing ensure that content remains accessible even during regional outages or high traffic loads.
Self-Hosting?
Appwrite's self-hosted setup is optimized for local content delivery in single-region environments. Cloud users benefit from the global CDN with 120+ points of presence worldwide. If your self-hosted deployment requires distributed CDN capabilities, please contact us to discuss custom solutions.
