- farfatched 5mo agoThe BBC were unable to find a single CDN that could serve the UK during its peak football matches. https://www.bbc.co.uk/webarchive/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.co.uk%2Fblogs%2Finternet%2Fentries%2F8c6c2414-df7a-4ad7-bd2e-dbe481da3633 https://www.bbc.co.uk/webarchive/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.co.uk...
- jamesfinlayson 5mo agoI'd believe it - CloudFront always felt a bit like AWS ticking a box ("we have a CDN") rather than being a good to use product.
- grogenaut 5mo agothat's called load balancing and regional availability. many companies do multi-cdn. in fact it's smart to use multiple CDNs so you can do better in contract time. Twitch uses IVS but we have failover to other CDNs for very large events.
