Unified routing and caching for cdn applications
The granted patent US12069318B2 outlines a method for configuring caches within a web application that operates in conjunction with a content delivery network (CDN). The method involves analyzing the web application’s code to identify applicable caches and the specific routing and caching logic relevant to each cache. This includes various types of caches such as browser caches, service worker caches, and CDN caches. The process entails triggering the configuration of each identified cache by sending the corresponding subset of routing and caching logic, ensuring that the caches are optimized for performance and efficiency.
Additionally, the patent describes mechanisms for managing cache policies and versions of the web application. It allows for the binding of cache policies to specific versions of the application code, ensuring that the policies execute in tandem with the correct application version. The method also supports the pre-fetching of dynamic web pages and API data from edge servers, enhancing the responsiveness of the web application. Furthermore, it includes provisions for local execution of the application code and caching logic on client devices when the CDN is unavailable, thereby improving accessibility and user experience. Overall, the patent presents a comprehensive approach to cache management in web applications utilizing CDNs.
