Azure Front Door

Azure Front Door acts as Microsoft’s global CDN, handling traffic distribution across regions while accelerating dynamic content. It also includes a built-in web application firewall to filter malicious requests before they reach your backend infrastructure. This setup effectively manages both static asset delivery and real-time application routing on a single platform.

Teams operating globally with complex routing needs will find this service particularly useful for maintaining low latency across multiple geographic locations. However, the lack of a free tier means you pay from the first request via a pay-as-you-go model. This makes it less suitable for small projects or developers testing concepts who need a zero-cost entry point.
