Blog post from New Relic
Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) enhance the speed and efficiency of loading internet content through globally distributed servers, but they can be challenging to troubleshoot during high-demand periods, risking revenue and customer trust if not managed effectively. To address these challenges, New Relic offers integrations with leading CDN providers like Akamai, Amazon CloudFront, Cloudflare, and Fastly, enabling rapid monitoring of CDN performance through pre-built dashboards and alerts. These integrations allow users to track critical metrics such as latency, availability, and error rates, ensuring swift identification and resolution of issues. New Relic facilitates this by offering a free account with 100 GB/month of free data ingest and access to over 500 prebuilt quickstarts, supporting a wide range of telemetry data sources. The platform emphasizes ease of use and integration, providing detailed setup instructions and support documentation for each CDN provider, thereby empowering users to maintain optimal CDN performance and enhance customer experience.
