A content delivery network is an extensive distributed system of servers deployed in multiple data centers across the internet. The primary purpose of a CDN is to deliver content to end-users with high availability and performance. CDNs are typically used to deliver static content such as HTML pages, images, and videos. However, you can also use them to deliver dynamic content such as APIs and live streaming media. CDNs use various techniques to improve performance, including caching, compression, and connection multiplexing. They also typically use Anycast routing to route traffic to the closest server. Anycast allows CDNs to provide low-latency and high-throughput services to end-users anywhere in the world.
