We\u2019ve got an election coming up here in the US, and over the last several weeks, we have been analyzing a dozen or so state election websites to take a closer look at how they\u2019re hosted (e.g., do they use a CDN or are they self-hosted?) and to monitor them for outages. In this episode, we discuss the pros and cons of each hosting method and dive into some examples we\u2019ve seen where election websites have had unexpected performance degradation. Catch this week\u2019s episode to go under the hood on the websites powering the upcoming presidential election\u2014and don\u2019t forget to get out there and vote!
