IBM Cloud Content Delivery Network vs. StackPath (formerly Highwinds or MaxCDN), discontinued

The IBM Cloud Content Delivery Network is well suited for web applications that have a distributed worldwide audience. Modern web sites load a lot of assets, such as javascript and css, that can be sped up significantly with it.

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.

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.
