Implementation and Configuration of Content Delivery Network (CDN) for Agromat's Web Products

In a world where website loading speed determines user comfort and influences the success of online businesses, it is crucial to focus on the efficiency and accessibility of content. Recognizing this, our partners sought to expand their capabilities and decided to implement a Content Delivery Network (CDN) to optimize their web resources. Our team successfully executed this project.

Key Objectives:

Establishment of a remote server for storing photo materials.

Centralized content storage with easy access and avoidance of duplication across different resources.

Accessibility of photo content for all business-used resources.

Implementation:

Analyzed user needs and identified main requirements for the CDN.

Planned content distribution, opting for Amazon servers for the project.

Developed a system for caching and updating content based on project needs. Load balancing across servers and scripting to adapt image sizes for each project. Conducted tests to assess the speed and efficiency of the developed CDN.

How It Works:

Integrated the CDN into the client's local ERP system for file upload via API. Developed an admin panel to manage projects utilized by the business. Implemented a script for automatic adaptation of file sizes to project requirements. Regularly updated the entire image database for all projects through API requests.

CDN's Functionalities:

• Project creation and configuration.
• Image uploading via API with adaptive sizing for each project.
• Generation of API access keys.
• Addition of photos by types for subsequent system recognition.
• Search for images based on product name, project, time frame, photo type, ID, and size.
• Secure deletion of files from the database after 30 days.

Admin Panel Features:

• User profile creation with varying access levels.
• Project creation and configuration.
• Directories for different content types within each project.

Conclusion:

The creation and utilization of the CDM system have significantly impacted the online infrastructure of businesses. It streamlined the file uploading process, making it more efficient and flexible. One of the key advantages is the automated adaptation of file sizes to the specific requirements of each project, optimizing resource usage and improving the overall appearance and loading speed of content for end-users.

Moreover, the system ensures a high level of security, protecting photos critical for successful business operations. In summary, the implementation of the CDM system positively influenced content management and efficiency, enhancing user experience and catering to the individual needs of various business projects.
