Large File Downloads with Mlytics API

Mlytics provides powerful APIs and built-in optimizations designed to manage and accelerate large file downloads and game installations through optimized multi-CDN capabilities. This guide will walk you through the implementation, configuration, and monitoring of effective content delivery for use cases like large firmware updates for mobile devices and game content distribution.

Application Scenarios

Scenario 1: Global Firmware Distribution

Challenge:

A mobile device company needs to distribute a 2GB firmware update to users worldwide without overloading the origin server.

Solution:

• Prefetch firmware files to edge nodes globally.
• Enable Range Requests to support resumable downloads.
• Set up load balancing to efficiently utilize multiple CDNs based on geographic regions.

Expected Results:

• Reduced origin server load.
• Faster download speeds for users.
• High availability during peak download periods.

Scenario 2: High-Concurrency Game Release

Challenge:

A game developer plans to release a new game, expecting millions of downloads on launch day.

Solution:

• Pre-cache game installation files on edge nodes.
• Configure smart routing to distribute traffic across multiple CDNs.
• Monitor performance metrics in real-time to make adjustments as needed.

Expected Results:

• Seamless download experience for users.
