Separate versioned assets from update indexes
Use versioned resource paths to manage installation packages, and set independent cache cycles and refresh processes for the version checking interface and index.
SOFTWARE & DISTRIBUTION
Deliver each software release consistently
Configure acceleration according to different requirements for installation packages, version indexes and update interfaces, and string resource release, cache refresh and download verification into a complete process.
THE CHALLENGE
Start with the workload
The launch of a new version will trigger downloads in a centralized manner, the version index needs to be updated in a timely manner, and the installation package should keep the content consistent. Large files, authenticated downloads, and client request methods also need to be verified separately.
- Software download site
- Client update service
- Developer documentation and resource sites
BUILT AROUND YOUR WORKLOAD
Protect each critical path
Verify download and client compatibility
Confirm file sizes, request methods and access permissions before integration. Test range requests, resumable downloads and client update behavior.
Securing developer web portals
Document stations and static resources use content acceleration. When WAF is required for login, token management, and publishing interfaces, choose the Standard or higher.

FROM PLAN TO PRODUCTION
Integration, step by step
- 01
Clarify how to publish and download
Provides typical files, client types, download regions, peak bandwidth and authentication methods.
- 02
Configure resources and update rules
Access the resource domain name and set HTTPS, version path and index refresh strategy.
- 03
Verify upgrades and rollbacks
Test full downloads, file integrity, resume behavior and rollback to previous versions before a gradual release.
Verify before launch
- Check file size and caching conditions, verify segmented downloads and resumable downloads.
- Use file hashes to confirm resource consistency under different access paths.
- Test version index refresh, old version download and update rollback.
Monitor after launch
Pay attention to the download success rate, updated index effectiveness, resource integrity, and origin server export load.
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Frequently asked questions
Are all large files and resumable downloads supported?
File size, caching conditions, and request range support should be confirmed with a technical consultant before validating with an actual client. The solution description does not mean that all file and client combinations have been adapted.
Can SCDN replace code signing and software supply chain verification?
No. Software signatures, release permissions, file hashes and supply chain verification are still maintained by the publisher, and SCDN is used for access and distribution of resources that meet access conditions.
