Can I use this for edge computing configuration?

Yes, it includes architectural patterns for platforms like Cloudflare Workers and AWS Lambda@Edge for tasks like A/B testing and request manipulation.

How do I handle cache invalidation with this skill?

It guides you through TTL-based expiration, immediate purges, soft purges, and versioned URL patterns to ensure content stays fresh across the global network.

How does this skill improve cache hit ratios?

It provides strategies for normalizing headers, using surrogate keys, and implementing origin shielding to collapse redundant requests before they reach your origin.

Is it compatible with all major CDN providers?

Yes, the skill offers comparative analysis and configuration patterns applicable to Cloudflare, Fastly, Akamai, and AWS CloudFront.

Does it cover security features?

Absolutely, it includes best practices for DDoS protection, WAF integration, and secure content delivery via signed URLs and HTTPS configuration.
