👉 Compute Delivery Network (CDN) computing is a distributed network of servers strategically placed around the globe to deliver web content efficiently and reliably. When a user requests content, such as an image or video, the CDN identifies the closest server with cached copies of that content, reducing latency and improving load times. This process involves intelligent routing algorithms that dynamically select the optimal server based on factors like geographic proximity, server load, and network conditions. CDNs also handle tasks like content compression, caching, and security, enhancing the performance and scalability of web applications while reducing the load on origin servers. This architecture ensures a seamless user experience, even during high traffic periods, by distributing the computational load across multiple geographically dispersed nodes.
