If one is worried about scale, it's pretty easy to throw them behind a CDN like Cloudflare or Bunny.net. They'll cache the static file for you so that your web server isn't always delivering it. I used to upload assets for ap

I think having separate DNS from your CDN isn't that big a deal, but bunny.net will combine both. Their DNS is currently in preview (open preview to anyone), but it looks like it'll be offering what you want. Cloudflare has been t
