Configuring Akamai with S3 Static Websites
For the next generation of the Concur Developer Center, we decided to break away from the standard enterprise, CMS-backed Web site and do what has become pretty common practice in the open source world for Web sites: we generated a completely static HTML Web site from markdown files using Jekyll.
Even with a static Web site, we want to do as much as possible to reduce latency - especially for mobile devices and parts of the world that may not have tons of bandwith to spare (or just those that happen to be located far from Amazon’s Oregon data center).
