A Content Delivery Network or CDN allows you to store images, videos, digital content and static files in the cloud. We can set up a Content Delivery Network for your new application. You too can enjoy the speed and efficiency of having your own CDN.

A CDN will free up a huge amount of bandwidth capacity and will significantly increase the performance of the application.

There is a big performance benefit to serving files out of a CDN. A CDN compresses assets before sending them out, browsers will un-compress those assets when they receive them causing the performance of the application increase significantly. It also serves all of the static files that are associated with your application, so that your server does not have to serve those files, again increasing performance.

With a CDN your assets are in the cloud (ie; images, logos, social links, videos and other digital content), making that content available for use in Email marketing campaigns, social media posts and cross platform content sharing, such as banner ads and overall digital advertising. You could even create a section just for marketing materials and branding, giving your advertising a uniform and consistent feel. The point being that beyond performance there is a real benefit to having a bucket.

Buckets are cheap, at the time of writing this a 250 GiB storage DigitalOcean Spaces bucket with 1 TiB outbound transfer is $5.00 month. Backing up a bucket costs very little. When you need more space it is easy to increase the size of a bucket. Buckets are easy to manage and very cost effective.

The time to think about a CDN is at the beginning to avoid having to move all of your images, videos and static files later on. The more you grow the more complex this becomes.
