How we run Vercel's CDN in front of Discourse

Vercel's CDN offers a flexible solution for enhancing security and functionality across various applications, such as Discourse or WordPress, without requiring a full migration to the Vercel platform. By using Vercel's CDN, users can benefit from features like firewall protection, DDoS mitigation, Web Analytics, and Bot Management, which help protect applications and provide valuable insights. The Vercel Community exemplifies this setup by proxying a Discourse application through Vercel's CDN, while certain components, like live sessions, run directly on Vercel using Next.js. Vercel's microfrontends allow for incremental modernization of applications by mounting Next.js apps on the same domain, enabling the creation of new pages or customization of existing ones without extensive changes to the core application. This approach allows for a seamless blend of legacy and modern solutions, offering a secure and scalable path forward without risking a complete platform overhaul.
