Comment on Fastly vs. AWS CloudFront: How Do the CDNs Stack Up?

Comments

It always boils down to where your customer is. If you're targeting a specific geo, it always pays to check what CDN provider has better peering/transit to the majority of the customers. There's also lots of regional players with way better connections compared to global CDN providers.

Price-wise, public prices are just for checking out the provider, one-off engagements or for using it as a secondary/backup-only CDN. Every CDN provider have private pricing and when there's a baseline usage it's always worthy reaching out. A small commitment can really drop the data transfer prices.
