What you'll learn

  • Learn approaches that account for CDNs much earlier in the development lifecycle
  • Understand specific considerations around CI/CD pipeline integration

Description

Content delivery networks (CDNs) play an integral part in the hosting strategies for internet-facing applications by ensuring fast, scalable, and reliable experiences for end users, but CDN automation and pipeline integration can often be a daunting task. Too often these services are integrated late in the delivery process, traditionally in the QA or production deployment phases. Duncan McCallister and Akshay Ranganath share approaches that account for CDNs much earlier in the development lifecycle and highlight specific considerations around CI/CD pipeline integration.

This session is sponsored by Akamai.
