Comment on The 5-Hour CDN

Comments

The hard part of building a CDN is not setting up an HTTP cache, it is setting up an HTTP cache that can serve thousands of different customers.

Making a service multitenant is more complex, yes. But many companies roll their own CDNs. There are lots of good reasons to do that, and it's a problem that can be reduced to a single developer for understanding.
