Benchmarking AWS Cloudfront


Has anyone benchmarked the effect of using AWS/Cloudfront as a CDN on response times?


Solution

  • Okay. Here is for you quick reference, by simply requesting the S3, Cloud front and my own hosting server. I get this result.

    This client is in Malaysia.

    1. S3 East Region 810ms.
    2. CloudFront miss from CloudFront 1.61s
    3. CloudFront hit from CloudFront 83ms
    4. Own Hosting server in Hong Kong 4.72s

    You should better to do you benchmark yourself. I would recommend you to use http://blitz.io/ . It give you a complete benchmark in your situation.
