CDN Comparison

# Edge vs AWS CloudFront

A detailed comparison of Edge CDN and Amazon CloudFront for content delivery.

## Why teams switch from CloudFront

AWS CloudFront is a capable CDN deeply integrated into the AWS ecosystem. However,
many teams find themselves frustrated by complex pricing, slow cache invalidation,
and significant egress costs that grow with success.

Edge offers a simpler, more transparent alternative with zero egress fees,
instant cache purging, and a decentralized architecture that provides resilience
against single points of failure.

### Key Differences

- **Zero egress fees** – CloudFront charges $0.085/GB
- **Instant purge** – CloudFront takes 5-10 minutes
- **Simple pricing** – No calculator required
- **HTTP/3 support** – CloudFront doesn't support it
