How to setup a practically free CDN using Backblaze B2 and Cloudflare

⚠️ Note 2023-01-21
Some things have changed since I originally wrote this in 2016. I have updated a few minor details, and the advice is still broadly the same, but there are some new Cloudflare features you can (and should) take advantage of. In particular, pay attention to Trevor Stevens' comment here from 22 January 2022, and Matt Stenson's useful caching advice. In addition, Backblaze, with whom Cloudflare are a Bandwidth Alliance partner, have published their own guide detailing how to use Cloudflare's Web Workers to cache content from B2 private buckets. That is worth reading,

A prospective employer invited me to do a HackerRank test. Here's my proposed alternative.

Well, that was unexpected. In the following, I’m trying to follow Jon Evans’ advice from “The Terrible Technical Interview”.

Monolithic vs. modular - what's the difference?

When you're developing in Node.js, you're likely to run into these terms - "monolithic" and "modular". They're usually used to describe the different types of frameworks and libraries; not just HTTP frameworks, but modules in general.

At a glance

  • Monolithic: "Batteries-included" and typically tightly coupled, it tries to include all the stuff that's needed for common usecases. An example of a monolithic web framework would be Sails.js.
  • Modular: "Minimal" and loosely coupled. Only includes the bare minimum of functionality and structure, and the rest is a plugin. Fundamentally, it generally only has a single 'responsibility'. An example of a modular web framework would be Express.

Coupled?

In software development, the terms "tightly coupled" and "loosely coupled" are used to indicate how much components rely on each other; or more specifically, how many assumptions they make about each other. This directly translates to how easy it is to repla
