That sounds perfectly fine. KeyCDN is a great product. I've come to understand and appreciate some of the more advanced options in CloudFront and the options you have with Lambda@Edge. But if I could do it again I think I would set up a super simple web server that runs 24/7 that handles all the advance error handling, header wrangling, URL rewriting.
And now CloudFront supports Brotli. So perhaps in a sense, CloudFront has/is *more* but I'm deeply skeptical that it matters and you're that deep in the advanced options, you are probably doing it for a living.
Thank you for your article.
I'm newbie in website related, my website only to shows my portfolios, just in case my clients ask for it.
I'm using KeyCDN since 2013, it's very simple and I was following their tutorial, and all works perfectly.
I saw a lot of giant website using amazon S3 and cloudfront, so I want to try it for my new website.
To be honest it's not newbie friendly at all, I got a headache by looking there are dozens or maybe hundreds link on their UI. I feel intimidate. lol
I'm gonna stick to KeyCDN for now :)
