Moving Work to the Edge
Load balancing, caching, and database scaling all improve the origin. A CDN goes further: it serves responses from servers physically close to the user, before traffic ever reaches your origin.
What a CDN Is
A Content Delivery Network is a global network of edge servers. Users connect to the nearest one (a point of presence), cutting round-trip distance dramatically.
Cache Hits at the Edge
When the edge has a fresh copy of a response, it returns it directly — a cache hit. Your origin never sees the request, which offloads enormous load.
Cache-Control: public, max-age=300
CDN-Cache-Status: HITCache-Control Directives
You tell the CDN how to cache via headers:
max-age— seconds the response stays freshs-maxage— overrides max-age for shared caches like CDNsprivate— never cache at the edge
Caching Dynamic API Responses
Even API JSON can be cached if it is the same for many users. Use short TTLs and vary the cache key by query string or auth scope to keep responses correct.
Cache-Control: public, s-maxage=30
Vary: Accept-EncodingCache Invalidation
Stale data is the hard part. Strategies:
- TTL expiry — let it age out
- Purge — explicitly evict a URL after a write
- Versioned URLs — change the path so the old one is irrelevant
Absorbing Traffic Spikes
During a flash of traffic, a CDN serves cached responses to most users so the origin sees only a trickle. This is a key defense against both viral spikes and certain DDoS patterns.
Edge Compute
Modern CDNs run code at the edge — edge functions. You can do auth checks, A/B routing, or response shaping near the user without a trip to the origin, shaving latency further.
export default async (request) => {
if (!request.headers.get('Authorization'))
return new Response('Unauthorized', { status: 401 });
return fetch(request);
};Origin Shielding
A designated shield POP sits between all edges and your origin. Cache misses funnel through it, so the origin is hit at most once per object rather than once per region.
Measuring CDN Effectiveness
Track the cache hit ratio — the fraction of requests served from the edge. A high ratio means low origin load and fast responses. Low ratios point to poor caching headers or highly personalized content.
Stale-While-Revalidate
The stale-while-revalidate directive lets the edge serve a slightly stale response instantly while it fetches a fresh copy in the background. Users never wait on the origin, and content stays current.
Cache-Control: max-age=60, stale-while-revalidate=300Quick Check
Test your CDN knowledge.
Recap
You learned how the edge scales APIs:
- CDNs serve responses from nearby POPs
- Cache-Control headers govern freshness
- Invalidation via TTL, purge, or versioning
- Edge compute and origin shielding cut origin load further
