When we think of a CDN, it is typical to think that they are only useful for serving up static content. However, it is an AWS best practice to place CloudFront in front of all resources, even dynamic services, to improve security and performance. From a security perspective, CloudFront minimizes the attack surfaces and handles DDOS attacks at the edge to reduce the load on internal components. With regard to performance, CloudFront optimizes the pipe between the edge and availability zones, which improves performance even for POST and PUT operations. Furthermore, even a cache-control header of just a few seconds can have a significant impact on GET operations. In this recipe, we will demonstrate how to add CloudFront in front of the AWS API Gateway.

Overview of this book
Cloud-native development is a modern approach to building and running applications that leverages the merits of the cloud computing model. With cloud-native development, teams can deliver faster and in a more lean and agile manner as compared to traditional approaches. This recipe-based guide provides quick solutions for your cloud-native applications.
Beginning with a brief introduction, JavaScript Cloud-Native Development Cookbook guides you in building and deploying serverless, event-driven, cloud-native microservices on AWS with Node.js. You'll then move on to the fundamental patterns of developing autonomous cloud-native services and understand the tools and techniques involved in creating globally scalable, highly available, and resilient cloud-native applications. The book also covers multi-regional deployments and leveraging the edge of the cloud to maximize responsiveness, resilience, and elasticity.
In the latter chapters you'll explore techniques for building fully automated, continuous deployment pipelines and gain insights into polyglot cloud-native development on popular cloud platforms such as Azure and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). By the end of the book, you'll be able to apply these skills to build powerful cloud-native solutions.
