This was one of the Amazing way to manage the internet traffic and content delivery. Installed the infrastructure with Akamai Server (DNS) manages the traffic based on the rules established on the server.
Example: If there is a Phased launch for a product for entire USA, the strategy will be to open the application for some less customer based state. This rule can be configured on Akamai server to process the traffic from that particular state (eg: RI) with a different URL (url for new application). If the traffic is from any other states, they get routed to the old URL (old application).
This helps in containing the launch related issues and to validate the application usage in production environment.
Akamai, also replicates the content on its distributed servers which enhances the request throughput (less response time) for content delivery.
