Backend Cache (AWS)
This is Speed Kit's central, primary cache where Anonymous HTML and other website assets are stored. It is hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS), a secure and highly reliable cloud computing platform. This cache acts as the master source of truth that feeds the geographically distributed Edge Cache, ensuring that fast, cacheable content is always available to be pushed closer to end-users around the globe.
