Abstract
Disclosed are systems and methods for enabling an application developer to define CDN behavior (e.g., caching rules) alongside an application program code and embedded in the same source code. The systems and methods can be used to define CDN or edge caching behavior using custom cache keys that go beyond simply using a URL. The custom cache keys and source code CDN behavior definitions can be used to enable a graphical user interface to specify traffic rules in a codeless interface. The described embodiments can be used for defining general traffic routing, to test different versions of the application or to otherwise present different versions of the application to end users, while preserving cache keys and caching behavior at the edge and throughout the application distribution layers.
