CDN capabilities
A Content Delivery Network is a geographically distributed network of servers whose main goal is to deliver content as fast and as securely as possible. A CDN is a powerful tool designed to improve the performance, security and scalability of web applications. Acting as an intermediary between users and application servers, a reverse proxy provides efficient management, filtering and optimization of all incoming traffic before it reaches your internal infrastructure.
An additional layer of protection
A CDN provides an extra security perimeter, acting as a shield and protecting your application from malicious attacks such
as DDoS, SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS). By filtering and monitoring incoming traffic at its edge
servers, the CDN ensures that only legitimate requests reach your origin server.
Improved performance
By caching static content across its global network of servers and intelligently distributing the load, a CDN reduces
latency and improves response times. Users receive content from the network node closest to them, which delivers
a faster and more reliable user experience.
Network traffic balancing
The CDN's global infrastructure enables advanced routing capabilities — traffic can be directed based on
the user's geographic location, their behavior or other criteria. This lets you optimize the
use of compute and network resources, delivering a better experience for end users around the world.
How to get started with the CDN
Complete three steps
Ready within a few hours
1. In your Alviy dashboard, create a zone and move over all DNS records
2. Delegate the domain to Alviy at your domain registrar
3. Wait for the SSL/TLS certificates to be issued
4. Manage it
Rates for proxying, filtering and antibot are on the pricing page. If what you need is not content delivery but resilience of the zone itself, see secondary DNS.
