Is anyone building CDN service on top of IPFS? IPFS is certainly too slow for many applications but perhaps there are tiny niches where it makes sense today? More like tape drive storage?
- yawnxyz 5y agoCloudflare has a CDN gateway on top, but they don't do pinning (just kidding, you can add a site to IPFS through CF now — edit2: I still don't think they do pinning... really can't tell): https://developers.cloudflare.com/distributed-web/ipfs-gateway https://developers.cloudflare.com/distributed-web/ipfs-gatew...
