Hi,

The infrastructure team often recei= ves feedback that services are slow. One idea we have to improve service de= livery for users is to offer edge connectivity closer to users. We generall= y have two choices here:
=C2=A0 - We can build out an edge by buy= ing machines in various data centers; installing a reverse proxy on them, a= nd then backhauling the traffic to our service origin.
=C2=A0- We= can buy these services from many different CDN providers who have already = done the first step; for a nominal fee[0].

Is it a= gainst the social contract to purchase these CDN services?
Is it = against the social contract to purchase these CDN services, even if the ser= vices are provided via open source software?

-A

[0] I'm not intending to have a fiscal argument;= there are obvious tradeoffs between buy / build=C2=A0and money. I'm in= terested in the social contract only for the moment.
