is Websites, APIs, SaaS services Booster were needed?

What does that mean?.............

idea to enables any site with a custom domain the ability to handle SSL, DNS load balancing, and protection against DDoS attacks is one of the thing that demand by all the dev. This is a great way for sites that are still running on server-based web hosts to get some easy integrations by using the booster services. so far we got plenty of choice but why not using our own tech??

Why you don’t need it?..........

we are the strong believer in the JAMstack, which encourages the use of a build tool that will compile any app. When you choose to use a static site generator, you already get a fast and light-weight site by default. What you serve with was the static output of your build, improving all aspects of page speed and ability compared to a site requiring a server-based web host.

SSL?...........

We believe in security. We generate, deploy and manage unique SSL certificates for each site with just few click, free for all. We also automatically renew and deploy your new SSL certificates, taking the pain out of certificate management.

And if you already have a certificate for your domain and prefer that instead of domain-validated certificate, you can install your own SOON using our dashboard UI.

Advanced CDN, load balancing techniques, and DDoS protection.....

When a user visits your site, their browser will look up the DNS record for www.example.com, and it will receive a CNAME telling it to look up example.com instead. When it looks up example.com, it connects to the advanced traffic director, that returns an A record with an IP address of the server from the pool of currently available CDN nodes, choosing the node that’s geographically closest to the end user.

The cool thing is that the use of a load balancer, and if our system has detected that our main load balancer is currently being hit by a large DDoS attack and is slow or unresponsive, we’ll simply route around that on the DNS level. Since we cache content at our edge nodes around the world, end users also experience extremely fast page load times because of this. The easiest way for you to understand this is --- when we were kid back then, we used to play "ummmm Cak" or should i say "Piikaaboo" with the babies, this is what i meant by just simply routing around the dns, ;)

As a bonus, the global, multilayered CDN is set up to catch slow or failing nodes and seamlessly remove them. Top to bottom, the infrastructure redundancies make sure we keep traffic flowing, so there’s no need to add more redundancy with other application like Cloudflare etc.

Our intelligent deployment process also allows us to completely change the state of your site in ~1 sec. Releasing or rolling back a site we host eliminates caching problems.

Managed DNS..........

Dealing with different DNS providers and custom configurations can sometimes be difficult, which is why we also offers the option to hand over DNS configuration to provider like Netlify with our Domain Dashboard feature. This feature is available on our upcoming plan which is the LP offering, till then, see yaaa! stay safe, stay life, stay polybees!
