Amazon CloudFront vs cdnjs: What are the differences?
Developers describe Amazon CloudFront as "Content delivery with low latency and high data transfer speeds". Amazon CloudFront can be used to deliver your entire website, including dynamic, static, streaming, and interactive content using a global network of edge locations. Requests for your content are automatically routed to the nearest edge location, so content is delivered with the best possible performance. On the other hand, cdnjs is detailed as "An open source community driven Javascript CDN". Everyone loves the Google CDN? Even Microsoft runs their own CDN. The problem is, they only host the most popular libraries. We host it all - JavaScript, CSS, SWF, images, etc! Powered by CloudFlare.
Amazon CloudFront and cdnjs can be primarily classified as "Content Delivery Network" tools.
"Fast" is the top reason why over 245 developers like Amazon CloudFront, while over 2 developers mention "Free" as the leading cause for choosing cdnjs.
cdnjs is an open source tool with 7.73K GitHub stars and 4.03K GitHub forks. Here's a link to cdnjs's open source repository on GitHub.
According to the StackShare community, Amazon CloudFront has a broader approval, being mentioned in 3387 company stacks & 621 developers stacks; compared to cdnjs, which is listed in 7 company stacks and 9 developer stacks.
I don't think I have registered a domain in the last 10 years that hasn't been linked to CloudFlare within the first 2 hours from registration.
The benefits you get from even the free version of CloudFlare are amazing. From day 0: - 30/80% of bandwidth savings thanks to their CDN - Origin IP address protection - Managed SSL
