# Edge Network

> Deliver apps globally using Cloudflare’s edge network for performance and DDoS protection.

DCDeploy applications are delivered via **Cloudflare’s global edge network**.\
This provides low-latency access, DDoS mitigation, and TLS termination by default.

***

## Benefits

* **Global CDN caching** for faster delivery.
* **Automatic TLS/SSL** certificates.
* **DDoS protection** at the network edge.
* **Anycast routing** for reliability.

***

## Use Cases

* Deploying production web apps.
* Handling traffic spikes safely.
* Reducing latency for global users.

***

## Example

When you bind a custom domain:

```txt theme={null}
CNAME → myapp.DCDeploy.cloud
Traffic is automatically routed via Cloudflare’s edge.
```

## Best Practices

* Keep your app stateless for maximum caching.
* Use persistent volumes or managed databases for state.
* Monitor metrics to optimize global performance.
