Description

The Dynamic CDN Route Manager is an advanced orchestration system designed to enhance content delivery by intelligently managing the routing policies and behaviors of Content Delivery Networks (CDNs). In the age of high-traffic web applications, video streaming, SaaS platforms, and globally-distributed user bases, static CDN rules are no longer sufficient. This manager acts as a layer above traditional CDNs (e.g., Cloudflare, Akamai, Fastly) or integrates with multi-CDN setups to reroute requests in real-time. It bases decisions on metrics such as regional traffic patterns, user latency, origin server health, and content type. The system can automatically perform A/B testing, regional traffic redirection, or cost-based optimization, redirecting traffic to the most efficient and economical endpoint. For example, during regional outages, the manager reroutes users to healthy edge nodes. If traffic spikes in one geography, it can balance load to other zones. Additionally, policies can prioritize lower-cost CDNs during off-peak times while preserving performance SLAs. Features include GeoDNS support, TLS/SSL handling, caching strategy overrides, and compatibility with serverless edge functions. The outcome is faster page loads, reduced bounce rates, optimized costs, and improved content availability worldwide.
