  • If we are fetching the resources from a CDN (or some other source) for both the server and the client, how should we handle the case where the client is more up-to-date than the server? Commented Nov 28, 2017 at 12:28
  • I'm a little unclear on why you would want to have the server depend on the CDN. Can you elaborate at bit? Would it be possible to add a simple diagram to your question? Commented Nov 28, 2017 at 15:01
  • I added diagrams and rephrased my proposed solutions. Please check and let me know if that helps. Commented Nov 28, 2017 at 15:57
  • I'm still unsure about what advantage you get from distributing this data to the servers via CDN. I can see why you want to do that with the clients but you have control over the servers, right? I'll add to my answer. Commented Nov 28, 2017 at 16:19
  • Simply put, given our current backend infrastructure we have no way of easily updating these hardcoded values that the backend uses on the fly, without having to redeploy the backend after manually updating it. Commented Nov 28, 2017 at 16:25
