Likelihood to Recommend

StackPath is a great Content Delivery Network platform that improves website loading speed and also allows for website monitoring. In our case, we use that as a regular Content Delivery Network to make sure our website can be accessed with good performance in terms of webpages being opened as fast as possible. we also use it to monitor our websites for availability, so we know when we have any issues with our web hosting provider very quickly.

Can't do better than StackPath if you need just a CDN

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We're a publishing company, so the entire company benefits from our StackPath deployment in terms of site performance. StackPath has data center locations in major US cities, placing our content (images, logos, JS) quite close to our user base. It has helped greatly in maintaining uptime performance; we've never, ever had an issue with StackPath's CDN and Edge services not being available in the 3+ years we've used them.

Pros

Service availability
Ease of integration with various web properties
Easy to use administration interface
Free private SSL certs for CDN
Cheap object storage and delivery

Cons

The management interface is easy to use but a bit crowded. Wouldn't mind being able to create a custom dashboard.
The web application firewall could be more robust when compared to CloudFlare.
They don't yet support TLS1.3
They will serve assets when your origin is not available but it isn't a full site delivery service.

Likelihood to Recommend

Well suited to:

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

Not so well suited to:

Multi-tiered web applications
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.
Object storage works well if you don't need fine-grained bucket lifecycle or permissions management.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use StackPath as a CDN. We also utilize the firewall and edge-side scripting.

Pros

Caching.
Fast network.
Edge scripting.

Cons

Analytics.
Many options hidden in API.
Web console.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is great as a primary or backup CDN. We have had no issues with performance. The cache hit ratio is high.

Some of the options are hidden within the API and you have to configure them with API calls, such as configuring signed fetch requests to an S3 origin. These should be in CLI or Web Console. The deployment of edge side scripts with the CLI or CI/CD could be improved.
