Starting my Content Delivery Network
Today I’m finally starting to put my AS Number to use, rolling out my Content Delivery Network! Currently it’s actually not delivering anything useful, just some neat statistics, but it’s helping me learn how CDNs work and share that with all of you.
Here’s a neat visualizer which helps show how users end up at the CDN, when directed via DNS (geo-dns) and BGP (anycast).
AI disclaimer: The DNS server (github link) and my-ip page (link) were written without the use of any AI tools. The visualization on this page was made using Claude AI, since I am not that good at Javascript.
