Challenge

Without an effective CDN setup, the company’s website repeatedly requested the same resources, slowing page loads and increasing monthly content delivery costs. It needed to improve performance quickly while creating a more efficient approach to caching and resource delivery.

Solution

Optimized CDN Configuration

Toptal configured AWS CloudFront cache behaviors and policies to improve resource delivery, using Bash scripts to automate the setup and eliminate unnecessary requests that were slowing website performance.

Reproducible Cloud Infrastructure

The CloudFront configuration was migrated to Terraform and implemented according to current AWS best practices, creating a reproducible infrastructure setup that could be maintained and updated more efficiently.

Outcome

5x Faster Load Times

Website load times decreased by 5x following the CloudFront implementation, giving users a significantly faster experience and resolving the performance issues caused by repeated resource requests.

Lower Delivery Costs

More efficient caching and resource delivery reduced the company’s monthly content delivery bills, addressing the rising costs associated with repeatedly serving the same website resources.
