A key challenge for SaaS providers is designing secure, scalable tenant routing mechanisms to identify tenants and route requests to appropriate resources. Effective tenant routing ensures isolation, scalability, and security. This post explores strategies for routing HTTP requests in multi-tenant SaaS environments on AWS, including considerations, best practices, and example scenarios. For routing strategies at […]

In this post, we demonstrate how to implement tag-based invalidation in HAQM CloudFront with Lambda@Edge, HAQM DynamoDB, AWS Lambda, and AWS Step Functions. This post provides you with a reference architecture and sample code artifacts to help you deploy and test tag-based invalidation. Let’s look at some use cases where tagging pages together might be […]

As organizations grow, they must often serve geographically dispersed users with low latency, prompting them to have a distributed global infrastructure in the cloud. In this article, we describe how to deploy global API endpoints to reduce latency for end-users while increasing an application’s availability. By using the AWS Global Network and HAQM CloudFront to deploy applications into multiple […]

In this post, you’ll learn about the ‘multi-function packager’ framework that handles the assembly and execution of discrete Edge functions. HAQM CloudFront is a content delivery network (CDN) service that improves the performance, availability, and security of your application, allowing you to serve a consistent experience to your viewers globally. Lambda@Edge and CloudFront Functions are the […]

Search engine crawlers – a special bot type used to index your site – are very important visitors. They make sure that your content is searchable by end users. If a crawler can’t easily read your content, then any updates you make might not be immediately reflected in the search results. Depending on the algorithms […]

In today’s digital-first business environment with a globally distributed customer base, it becomes important to adopt an architecture that helps customers deliver digital assets to end-users with the lowest possible latency based on the geo-proximity of assets to the end user. Companies with digital assets stored in HAQM Simple Storage Service (HAQM S3) commonly configure the traffic to be […]

Any web application using HAQM CloudFront benefits from the inherent high availability of this AWS service. It’s a globally distributed network that is immune to local hardware failures or network congestion. Furthermore, it’s built on top of the AWS global network, which provides better isolation from the public internet. Finally, it’s designed with various advanced […]

CloudFront Functions is a new serverless scripting capability that allows you to run JavaScript code at more than 225 HAQM CloudFront edge locations to perform lightweight HTTP transformations and customize content delivery. This blog details our security journey and the controls we put in place to make CloudFront Functions raise the security bar when it comes to edge computing capabilities.

Introduction: Whether your media library includes long form featured movies or short form “how-to” clips, the popularity of each video asset is typically set by your viewers preference. In order to deliver your online video content, AWS offers multiple solutions that you can use to automate your media supply chain, and streamline your content distribution. […]

AWS Web Application Firewall (AWS WAF) is commonly used to protect HTTP and HTTPS requests forwarded to HAQM CloudFront. When you are using this approach, default 403 error pages do not distinguish whether the error came from AWS WAF or the CloudFront Origin. As an AWS WAF and HAQM CloudFront user, you may want to […]
