Sintel Apps Content Delivery Network CDN

What is a Content Delivery Network (CDN)

A Content Delivery Network (CDN) is a global network of servers that stores copies of website content (like images, videos, and code) in locations worldwide, delivering it from a server nearest to the user. This improves website loading speed, reduces latency, and handles traffic spikes. It makes the users experience faster and more reliable.

Sintel CDNs

In Sintel we use 2 CDNs as follows:

• https://app.sintelapps.com (to support legacy Sintel Forms)
• https://cdn.sintelapps.com (to support Sintel Apps and Sintel BI)

Why we use them

1. SPFx is designed to load bundles from a CDN (SharePoint’s own App Catalog CDN or any HTTPS CDN).
2. Facilitates easier rollouts of critical updates, fixes and features.
3. Improves performance, reliability, scalability, and long-term maintainability of SharePoint Online solutions.
4. Offloads traffic from SharePoint Online.
5. Using a CDN for SPFx assets is considered best practice.
