CDNJS: Community Moderated Javascript Libraries + CloudFlare
The text discusses the collaboration between CDNJS, a project providing a central repository for JavaScript libraries, and Cloudflare, a web performance and security company. CDNJS was initially using Amazon's CloudFront service but faced issues with pricing and SSL support. After reaching out to Paul Irish from Google's Chrome dev team, Cloudflare offered its globally-distributed network with low latency and SSL support to power CDNJS libraries. The new setup significantly improved latency times compared to the previous one and Google Libraries API. This collaboration aligns with both companies' mission of making the web faster and more secure.
