How long will you wait for something? That depends on what you’re waiting for, of course. But in your daily interactions, think about how many "things" you interact with where you expect the response to be instantaneous – tapping on mobile apps… Continue reading 20 Years of Edge Computing
How long will you wait for something? That depends on what you’re waiting for, of course. But in your daily interactions, think about how many "things" you interact with where you expect the response to be instantaneous – tapping on mobile apps, logging in and transacting with a retailer or a bank, selecting and viewing content on a streaming media device, interacting with a connected device like a light, doorbell, or even a car, or checking in for a train or flight. These are all services that require real-time processing of information, at massive scale, and are examples of where edge computing can make the difference between a great experience and a really frustrating one by bringing processing closer to devices and data.

Suppose a website is set up so that only IPs from country X are allowed read/write access. This server goes through a CDN such as Cloudflare.
Because the GeoIP read block is at server level, it never actually works because Cloudflare will … Continue reading CDN vs server-level GeoIP
I setup Cloudflare CDN for my site. I added my site to Cloudflare and it asked me to add Cloudflare nameserver to my domain. I did that in my DNS registrar portal. That’s all I did.
Now I’m able to access my site with my domain name, and i… Continue reading CDN end to end encryption?
Sports, gaming, and other live events have the potential to overwhelm network capacity due to the sheer volume of traffic generated when large numbers of viewers or gamers engage. These "peak" events may only occur once a month or even once a y… Continue reading Is 97% Network Traffic Offload Interesting?
Sports, gaming, and other live events have the potential to overwhelm network capacity due to the sheer volume of traffic generated when large numbers of viewers or gamers engage. These "peak" events may only occur once a month or even once a year (sports championships, election results, gaming downloads, etc.) with far lower, more consistent, and predictable traffic levels the rest of the time. Continue reading Is 97% Network Traffic Offload Interesting?

I found most CDNs allow the user to claim any domains to be the backend, I wonder why they do this instead of verifying if the user owns the backend domain. If I have myowndomain.com and set the backend to be facebook.com, wouldn’t it be a… Continue reading Why do CDNs allow arbitrary backend to be set, is it not a big security concern?
The emergence of the COVID-19 outbreak dramatically changed and disrupted the normal routines of our personal and professional lives. It led us to stay inside and work from home. It altered our browsing habits from our corporate devices, and it… Continue reading Working from Home — The New Threat Frontier
