How to build a custom Content Delivery Network using BGP routing, DNS configuration, and anycast.
Use my code APALRD and click this link to get 25% off your first payment at boot.dev! boot.dev?promo=APALRD Thanks to Boot.Dev for sponsoring! Today I'm finally starting to put my AS Number to use, rolling out my Content Delivery Network! Currently it's actually not delivering anything useful, just some neat statistics, but it's helping me learn how CDNs work and share that with all of you. Data on my blog: apalrd.net/posts/2026/asn_cdn/ Also feel free to do the dns test yourself: apalrd.net/myip/ Buy my merch or support me on ko-fi: ko-fi.com/apalrd Feel free to chat about my upcoming projects on Discord! discord.gg/xJsaEukAr4 Follow me on Mastodon: hachyderm.io/@apalrd Timestamps: - Introduction - Loading My Website - BGP Setup - DNS Setup - The WinnersWhy it's here
