Six experts from Google Cloud, NVIDIA, IO River and more share how they use CDN data for security, uptime, and AI.
CDN INSIGHTS PLAYBOOK
Introduction: Why most CDN data never becomes insight.
Teams sample, summarize, tier, and delete CDN data to control cost. Each move saves money, and each one gives up answers they'll need later. Each chapter that follows names one of those losses, and how to avoid it.

Turn CDN data into your competitive advantage
Every request that crosses your CDN leaves a record: who asked, what was served, and what failed. At internet scale, that stream of records is one of the richest sources of insight your company generates. Six leaders who have built, run, advised, and funded the teams that rely on it share what they've learned.
INSIDE THE PLAYBOOK
Where CDN insight gets lost, and how to save it
Chapter 1: Insight lost to slow queries
Don't Let Slow Queries End Investigations: When a search takes so long you could leave on vacation, analysts narrow the question or move on. A slow query doesn't just delay an investigation; it deletes it.
ANTON CHUVAKIN, GOOGLE CLOUD
Chapter 2: Insight lost to aggregation
See What Your Dashboards Leave Out: Dashboards average CDN data into trends. When latency rises, the trend shows something is wrong, but not which provider, region, or file path caused it.
EDWARD TSINOVOI, IO RIVER
Chapter 3: Insight lost at peak traffic
Keep Visibility When Traffic Surges: If your log pipeline falls behind during a spike, you lose sight of what's happening at the moment of highest risk.
PRAMOD GOSAVI, BLUMBERG CAPITAL
WHO THIS PLAYBOOK IS FOR
Built for the teams that run on CDN data
Security, uptime, and AI advice from the people who have built, run, advised, and funded the teams turning CDN data into answers in real time.
THE PLAYBOOK
Learn from CDN leaders
CISOs, CSOs, security leads
Hunt threats across months of history and close investigations faster.
SRE, platform, edge teams
Find root cause while the event is still happening, and put AI agents to work on incidents.
Turn real-time data into better, faster business decisions.
Executives and budget owners
WHAT YOU'LL GET
Put your data to work
Catch attackers faster
Hunt threats across months of history, not just the last few days. Anton Chuvakin and Christophe Foulon show why slow queries and cold storage quietly end investigations.
Find root cause during the incident
Dashboards show that something broke, not why. Edward Tsinovoi and Pramod Gosavi show how to get from alert to root cause, and how to keep visibility when traffic surges.
Trust AI agents with incidents
Jonathan Mercereau shows how to onboard an AI agent the way you'd onboard a new hire, so it can act on production incidents.
Stop Deciding by Estimate: When data is late, leaders guess, and a wrong estimate costs more than the delay.
GREG TAFFET, TAFFET ASSOCIATES
Chapter 6: Insight replaced by guesswork
Make Hot Data the Security Default: The restore is part of your response time, whether you count it or not.
CHRISTOPHE FOULON, QUISITIVE
Chapter 5: Insight lost to aggregation
Onboard the Agent Like You'd Onboard a Person: An Al agent with perfect access still fails if nobody taught it what the data means.
JONATHAN MERCEREAU, NVIDIA
Chapter 4: Insight lost to missing context
Conclusion: The Hot Data Maturity Test
A self-assessment to take with your team. Does your architecture hold when volume, cardinality, and retention all rise at once?
