CDN Benchmark

This project contains 8 API running every 5 minutes and 8 Browser Checks running every 10 minutes in eu-central-1 and eu-north-1. These checks target the homepages of the following eight popular CDNs: Akamai, Cloudflare, Cloudfront, Fastly, Google Cloud, Imperva, Netlify, Vercel.

All API checks have the following format:

import { ApiCheck, Frequency, AssertionBuilder } from 'checkly/constructs';

new ApiCheck('${cdn}-api-check', {
  name: '${cdn} API Check',
  activated: true,
  frequency: Frequency.EVERY_1M, 
  request: {
    method: 'GET',
    url: 'https://www.${cdn}.com',
    skipSSL: false, 
    followRedirects: true, 
    assertions: [
      AssertionBuilder.statusCode().equals(200),
    ]
  }
});

The browser checks all look as follows:

const { expect, test } = require('@playwright/test')

test.setTimeout(210000)

test.use({ actionTimeout: 10000 })
for (let i =0; i<20; i++)
test('visit page and take screenshot'+i, async ({ page }) => {
  const response = await page.goto(process.env.ENVIRONMENT_URL || 'https://www.${cdn}.com')
  await page.screenshot({ path: 'screenshot.jpg' })
  expect(response.status(), 'should respond with correct status code').toBeLessThan(400)
})
