Why a server-side proxy, rather than just putting S3 behind the same CDN (which will probably save you bandwidth charges at the same time)?

- nemothekid 6y agoIf you are using something like Netlify, then you would need them to serve your S3 content from their CDN (which I don't think they support). For my specific use case, we host our application on our own domain (on our PaaS), then use a CDN for static assets. If we needed to also serve s3 assets from the same domain then it would mean routing routes in that node application to serve from s3 (effectively a server side proxy).
