CDN Nginx

Canvas enables you to cache the static assets such as CSS, JS, CTTPL, HTML and image files of a web page in an external repository called CDN (Content Delivery Network), present outside the application server. The mapping to these static files is easily configurable in the CDN server. When a page is loaded, these static files are downloaded and cached from the CDN server and not from the application server. The static files deployed in the application server and CDN server can be configured to reload CDN cache data based on the CDN configuration. The Canvas preferred CDN server is Nginx; however you can opt for any CDN server as per your choice. Moving out the static assets from the application server will reduce the load on it and minimises the number of hits to download these files.
