title: Do it yourself or use a commercial CDN
body: <p>Consider a dynamic content html web site with lots of static .js and image baggage must be hosted in a single location. The site will soon have a few 1000 new users clustered in a single country on the other side of the world. This new remote country has a Amazon S3 node and all users in that country will be within 1000Km of the S3 node.</p>
  
  <p>To improve the user expperience in the remote country I propose to locate the largest and most referenced static files on a local server close to that remote user community and rewrite URLs when servicing those users.</p>
  
  <p>My feeling is that using a commercial CDN would be overkill in this situation and directly referencing our own manually managed S3 static content would give us more control particularly for occasional urgent patches to JavaScript.</p>
