Amazon CloudFront vs Staticaly: What are the differences?
Developers describe Amazon CloudFront as "Content delivery with low latency and high data transfer speeds". Amazon CloudFront can be used to deliver your entire website, including dynamic, static, streaming, and interactive content using a global network of edge locations. Requests for your content are automatically routed to the nearest edge location, so content is delivered with the best possible performance. On the other hand, Staticaly is detailed as "A free CDN for Git repositories, WordPress, images and more". An open source project and free CDN hosting for static files. Pulls from GitHub, Gitlab, Bitbucket, and more.
