[REQUEST NEW CONTENT] Tutorial: Request Strapi's REST API behind a Content Delivery Network (CDN)

[pwizla]

Hello 👋

We'd like to have a tutorial on how to request Strapi's REST API behind a Content Delivery Network (CDN). This should notably include how to request media assets through AWS S3 and CloudFront.

• Target audience: Advanced users who already know how to use Strapi
• Keywords: REST API, CDN, AWS, CloudFront

Hello @pwizla @Theodore-Kelechukwu-Onyejiaku

I'd be very much interested in writing this article but I'd like to ask if it's the API that's behind the CDN or media assets? CDNs by definition are used to serve static files but the article title makes it seem as if its the API that's behind a CDN.

It'd be great if some clarity is provided

Hi @simioluwatomi ,

I am very glad you are interested in writing this article. As for the clarification, @pwizla will attend to you shortly.

Thank you very much!

Sorry for the confusion, @simioluwatomi. Indeed, I meant media assets behind the CDN, not the API :)

[Theodore-Kelechukwu-Onyejiaku]

Thank you @pwizla.

Hi @simioluwatomi , thanks for your patience. Please you can proceed. Thank you!

Hello, I've started working on the article but got sidelined with things from work.

I should be able to have the first draft complete by Friday, May 31 though

Hi @simioluwatomi ,

Thank you! Your contribution is very much appreciated 💪

Hello! Just wanted to check if the first draft is complete and if yes, when could this blog post be out? @Theodore-Kelechukwu-Onyejiaku please let me know when the article is out and I'll cross-reference it in our official docs at docs.strapi.io 🙂

[Theodore-Kelechukwu-Onyejiaku]

Hi @pwizla, thanks for the notification. Unfortunately, we don't have the completed draft at the moment.

Hi @simioluwatomi , I trust you are doing great. Could you please update me on the status of this article. Thank you!

[simioluwatomi]

@Theodore-Kelechukwu-Onyejiaku Please re-assign this to someone else. I'm swamped at work at the moment and can't dedicate enough time to finish this

[Theodore-Kelechukwu-Onyejiaku]

Hi @simioluwatomi ,

Thanks for letting me know.

Hi @Theodore-Kelechukwu-Onyejiaku. I've just seen this issue was closed as marked as completed, but it's not. Should we re-open a similar issue with the same topic and look for other authors? This content gap still needs to be filled in for Docs team.

[Theodore-Kelechukwu-Onyejiaku]

Hi @pwizla ,

I am so sorry I forgot to inform you. I have assigned this to another writer (one of our top writers). Also, if the current writer cannot deliver the content soon, then I will have no choice but to do it myself.
