What is a CDN & why Developers should Care about using one • Artur Bergman • GOTO 2016

[@JeremyAndersonBoise]

I like this guy, want to have a beer and chat with him. Great talk on why a CDN is a fundamental piece of any modern http app.

[@soap9535]

Currently watching during the fastly outage👀

[@SteversIO]

This guy is very passionate 🥳. Loved the talk.

[@hashcoeur]

appreciate this. You can feel the passion

[@KikiNation1]

Great guy, I hope he gets ahead in life.

[@amartyajha9109]

Loved it, all the topics were well explained, and I literally love fastly does.

[@IWasHereFirst2]

You lost me at "We all know what a reversed proxy is"

[@KikiNation1]

haha, I had to pause the video and go watch a video on that first 😆

[@polinaroshchina6536]

yep

[@wlkrgrd]

Yep lol

[@pedroasti9002]

instead of being in front of the service you are trying to reach, like a normal proxy e.g. a load balancer works like that, a reverse proxy is next to the your service, so when it wants to reach other services, you request it to your reverse proxy and it knows where he other services are to be found. people usually uses nginx for that. this way your service just needs to know where the reverse proxy is, not all the other services it need access to, that is for the reverse proxy to know

[@ManishJain2]

And he explains in 5 seconds....

[@vinitsunita]

What kind of request can we cache using CDN solution? Can we cache api call response in CDN solution?

[@prashanthb6521]

Very nice intro to CDN. Thanks.

[@goldistocks609]

At the end the question about https and the answer that Fastly deals with it painfully. Does anyone know if it has become less painful to deal with since this presentation occurred?

[@SveinbjornGeirsson]

Oh my god! It's Swedish Stanley Kubrick! :o

[@drmuller77]

Sveinbjörn Geirsson spot on!!!

8:36 check the subtitle😂😂😂😂

[@bobsmithy3103]

hmmm, I'm planning on making a realtime html5 game so I guess CDNs won't do much apart from the initial connection and ddos protection, but i could just use a different service for those instead. So no cdn for me i guess.

[@imalwaysright1408]

congratulations! you have won the most useless yt comment award!

Det är inte så svårt att lära svenska. Jag har lart mig för bara 3 år. Great vid btw :)

[@constantin2913]

If i use a CDN , that means i will replace my hosting ? Or i must use hosting in the same time with CDN?

[@ErshadKunnakkadan]

If you use a CDN, requests to hosting provider will go through this CDN. CDN does the caching / requests filtering for you. This mean, you need to have both hosting and CDN at the same time.

[@davidmesanoack7407]

My English is pretty good and I didn't understand half of what he just said.. (Thanks God KZbin has CC).

[@heroe1486]

Then it's not that good, that was pretty understandable and his accent isn't that uncommon

[@vaugenheimnughnrn8723]

Who's here after the outage?

[@yjhjerry]

Good sir, mind your language (:D), other than that, good stuff
