Building Your Own CDN for Fun and Profit
That's a fun project. For production websites and blogs, I'm pretty happy with Netlify, CloudFlare, and CloudFront. But CloudFront charges $600 per month for custom SSL certificates [1], so you could save a lot of money by just spinning up ~10 servers in different AWS regions.I noticed this line at the bottom of the page: "When it comes to picking a solution, I often choose the less traveled road". I don't agree with that at all, and it sounds a bit like NIH syndrome. It's always better to choose the most-traveled roads, especially in DevOps. If there's a problem, then you can join those communities and contribute to the projects.[1] https://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/custom-ssl-domains/
