Azure CDN vs. StackPath Edge Delivery

Azure CDN has at hand an infinity of applications and tools to implement in your system and have better control of your data in a clean and secure platform on the web, we recommend this program since the percentage of solutions provided by this program is very high and find a way to make each user's job easier.

Well suited to:

1. Startups - Very competitive pricing, better than AWS for object storage and CDN.
2. The less technical - for those looking to implement a CDN, it doesn't get any easier than StackPath
3. The more technical - Well documented API, serverless scripting and container deployments
4. Fast object delivery - StackPath tends to be faster (sometimes much more ) than AWS S3. See below however...

Not so well suited to:

1. Multi-tiered web applications
2. Ultra high bandwidth requirements. Stackpath isn't meant to be a substitute for AWS or Azure when you're looking to push 100s of TBs of traffic.
3. Object storage works well if you don't need fine-grained bucket lifecycle or permissions management.

• I found the CDN very easy to setup and configure within the Azure Portal.
• Being Azure, there are plenty of free tools that allow you to manage the CDN from a UI that is not the portal. This was especially handy when I trained end users how to manage content within their specific realm.

More user friendly and it’s so easy to learn, the prices may be close to each other, but the service is excellent.

When we identified the need for having a Content Delivery Network to improve our website loading performance we researched a bit and found StackPath. Reading its reviews and the info on its website we have found that they had everything we needed so we didn't need to look for other products.

• Azure CDN reduced origin instance load by removing the need to constantly serve large numbers of static files, meaning applications can be deployed with smaller/fewer instances.
• Azure CDN reduces apparent load times to customers by serving cached files out of POPs in the local region of those clients, instead of requiring those clients to make multiple, lengthy requests through to the origin servers.

• Easy 25-30% improvement in website performance vs non CDN solution
• Less expensive and faster object storage than AWS
