I'd like to discuss the merits of using a CDN for common resources
(jQuery, bootstrap, fontawesome, etc.) instead of copying them to the
resource server.
CDN
------------
- Users benefit from caching with non-uPortal apps. Helpful in
particular for slow-bandwidth connections or devices with greater cache
limitations.
- We don't have to manage releases of Resource Server for common
resources, nor modify pom.xml files to make sure the resource server
overlay process copies the files.
Resource Server
----------------------
- Makes it easier to know what versions of resources are in use so we
consolidate on a few versions instead of a plethora of versions
I generally favor the CDN approach; why duplicate what is freely and
readily available to us with some extra advantages (potential
pre-caching of content by other web sites).
