For a small team, I’d usually recommend Cloudflare as the default choice for a reliable CDN.
Why Cloudflare is a good fit
- Easy to set up: DNS changes and a proxy toggle are often enough to get started.
- Reliable global network: Strong performance and uptime for most common use cases.
- Good free/low-cost entry: Helpful if you’re small and don’t want heavy upfront spend.
- Extra features included: Basic DDoS protection, TLS/SSL, caching, and edge rules.
- Simple to scale: You can start small and add paid features later if needed.
Good alternatives
- Fastly: Great for teams that need more control, low latency, and advanced edge logic, but it can be more complex and expensive.
- AWS CloudFront: Best if you’re already deep in AWS and want tight integration.
- Bunny.net: Often a nice balance of simplicity, cost, and performance for small teams.
Quick recommendation
- If you want simple + reliable + affordable: Cloudflare
- If you want AWS-native: CloudFront
- If you want developer control and performance: Fastly
- If you want low cost with easy setup: Bunny.net
If you tell me your stack (static site, API, media files, app assets, regions, budget), I can suggest the best one more specifically.
