Abstract
Disclosed are systems and methods for providing automated configuration of a content delivery network. First, the system maintains access to one or more edge servers for a CDN, with the edge servers being configured to execute edge logic. The system receives code for an application in a specified application framework recognized by the system, where the code includes a set of routing and caching logic with routing instructions and routing behaviors. The system then analyzes the set of routing and caching logic to define a set of edge routing behaviors and caching behaviors for one or more routes within the application. The system then determines at least a subset of the routing and caching behaviors that can be processed at the one or more edge servers using the edge logic. The subset of routing and caching behaviors for the routes is processed and/or executed at the edge servers via the edge logic, and any remaining routing or caching behaviors from the set of routing behaviors are executed at one or more application servers.
