THE CDNML JOURNAL

Edge Intelligence Journal.

Original thinking on content delivery, machine learning, and the decisions behind dependable infrastructure.

Illustration of a latency distribution and the p95 and p99 percentiles

Why p95 and p99 latency matter for edge applications

Averages can hide the requests that make an application feel unreliable. Learn what p95 and p99 describe, how to measure complete user journeys, and how to compare regional traffic and latency distributions without misleading aggregation.

Abstract edge analytics dashboard connecting cache outcomes, latency distributions, and request traffic.

CDN analytics: turn edge logs into useful decisions

Useful CDN analytics connects cache behavior, latency, and errors to a clear operational decision. Learn to define trustworthy metrics, interpret request and byte hit ratios, manage sampling and privacy, and test changes with meaningful guardrails.

Versioned ONNX model packages moving through a CDN to a browser with verification and rollback steps

Delivering ONNX models through a CDN: a deployment guide

Reliable model delivery requires more than uploading an ONNX file. Build a release process that binds models to runtime assets, verifies downloaded bytes, handles browser compatibility, and activates updates only when a complete working package is ready.

Illustration of API response caching with public and private access boundaries

API response caching without leaking private data

API caching starts with deciding who may receive a response. Learn how to review HTTP directives, design complete cache keys, separate public and personal content, and test identity boundaries before expanding a caching policy.

An LLM request router selecting among model endpoints using quality, latency, and cost criteria

LLM request routing: balance quality, latency, and cost

A useful LLM router chooses among eligible models, budgets the entire request, and measures successful outcomes. Build a practical policy for deadlines, retries, streaming, evaluation, and gradual rollout without hiding quality failures behind lower request prices.

A device, edge server, and cloud connected by inference paths with latency and privacy indicators

Edge AI vs cloud AI: where should inference run?

Inference placement starts with the job a model must do. Learn how to compare local devices, nearby servers, and cloud services using complete latency budgets, realistic memory measurements, privacy boundaries, and explicit fallback rules.
