Making the proxy global #5
Description
Hi,
This issue follows an email I had with Divshot team. Right now, I am using a CDN (CloudFront) in front of my API. This offers a lot of advantages to us:
- It serves as a proxy cache
- It does SSL negotiation
- It has very low latency and has fast connection to EC2 origins
I'm considering using Divshot proxy as this CORS shitty thing adds a lot of overhead in our case because of the preflight requests. However, the proxy seems to not be distributed, and it would be awesome if it could be distributed globally. As I'm located in France, I'd prefer it to do:
- Divshot Proxy in Europe => CloudFront in Europe => Origin in US
Rather than:
- Divshot Proxy in US => CloudFront in US => Origin in US
This way, I could still benefit from lower latency as content will be served from CloudFront!
Hope it makes sense :)
