Design (LLD) content delivery network - Machine Coding
Table of contents
A low-level design (LLD) for a content delivery network (CDN) might include the following components:
Edge servers: The edge servers are responsible for storing and serving the content to the users. They are distributed geographically to provide low latency and high availability.
Origin server: The origin server is the source of the content, and it is responsible for storing and serving the content to the edge servers.
DNS server: The domain name system (DNS) server is responsible for mapping domain names to IP addresses, allowing users to access the content using friendly URLs.
Load balancer: The load balancer is responsible for distributing the traffic among the edge servers to ensure that they are utilized efficiently and do not become overloaded.
Monitoring and management: The monitoring and management component is responsible for monitoring the performance and availability of the CDN, and for managing the configuration and deployment of the edge servers.
This is just a basic outline of the components that might be included in a low-level design of a CDN. The specific details and implementation of these components will depend on the specific requirements and use case of the CDN.
