CDNs are focused on optimizing content delivery by caching and distributing static assets to reduce latency and improve user experience.
Load balancers are designed to evenly distribute incoming network traffic across multiple servers to ensure efficient resource utilization.
CDNs handle static content more effectively by caching it on edge servers located closer to end-users.
Load balancers manage dynamic content by evenly distributing incoming requests across multiple backend servers.
CDNs operate through a network of edge servers strategically placed in various geographical locations worldwide.
Load balancers typically operate within a single data center or across multiple data centers.
CDNs optimize performance by caching content, leveraging techniques like content compression.
Load balancers optimize performance by distributing incoming traffic based on predefined algorithms.
CDNs are commonly used for content-heavy websites, media streaming services, and global applications.
Load balancers are utilized in various web applications, including e-commerce platforms, enterprise applications, and cloud-based services.
