Azure CDN

A Content Delivery Network (or CDN) is a service operating across a widely distributed system of servers to bring web content to an end-user based on the end-user's geographic location. A server optimally situated to deliver the best performance and fastest load times is determined algorithmically, with the goal of noticeably improving the end-user's experience (e.g. reduced page load time). Alternately, cost may be prioritized over performance.

One of our major problems was quickly delivering our website content to end users in different regions. After researching, we found Azure CDN, which helped us with solving this problem by caching our website content on various servers globally. Additionally, they have been helping us with handling more concurrent users.

Azure CDN backs global distribution of all client-side code (JavaScript & CSS) plus supporting assets (images) for LiveTiles. It accelerates load times for every product (originally clocked in as 3x faster than raw storage) and allows for an evergreen deployment model for our SharePoint add-in solutions that can only use client-side code.

Global reach - we have customers around the world and they all get excellent performance.
Global availability - we've never had down time on Azure CDN.
Easy management - you can do everything easily from the portal connecting things to a storage container and from there it's zero management except purging on new content.

For the longest time they didn't have a robust SDK. They have one now, but it could be better.
The different flavors of Azure CDN (Akamai, Verizon, etc) have different costs, but not well differentiated features. Might be confusing to new users.
I'm not overly familiar with it, but AWS does have a programmability in their CDN offering (Lambda @ Edge) and Azure doesn't seem to have an equivalent (Azure Functions is region-specific).

Performance improvements - On first change to Azure CDN, we had a great bump in page load times in our app.
Evergreen Deployment - Simplified updating code in our apps by putting it all in one place.
