2 — Global Traffic Management
Routing users to the right region by latency, health, and capacity simultaneously, and the DNS- and anycast-level mechanics that make global failover fast.
3 — Edge Computing
Pushing compute and data closer to the user to cut latency, and the consistency and deployment complexity that distributing logic to the edge buys in exchange.
4 — Multi-Cloud Reliability
The real cost — not just financial — of running reliably across more than one cloud provider, and where multi-cloud actually reduces blast radius versus just adding complexity.
5 — Active-Active Systems
Serving live traffic from more than one region simultaneously, and the conflict-resolution problem that active-active pushes onto every stateful write.
