From CDNs to Frontend Clouds

Web applications today are judged on six core principles: speed, global presence, scalability, dynamism, reliability, and security. As user experiences have become more engaging and dynamic, the limitations of Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) and Infrastructure as Code (IaC)—once the industry standards for application delivery—are becoming increasingly apparent. These technologies have not kept pace with the evolving web, leading to an emerging and compelling solution: frontend clouds that abstract away complex infrastructure, enabling next-generation content, experiences, and application delivery.
