What is CDN and How CludFlare will help you to boost your web application?

CDN is short for content delivery network. A content delivery network (CDN) is a system of distributed servers (network) that deliver pages and other Web content to a user, based on the geographic locations of the user, the origin of the web page and the content delivery server.
A Content Delivery Network (CDN) consists of two components: The Origin Server(s) – where the content to be distributed over Internet is originally stored & Cache Server(s) – where the content is duplicated. There is generally one Origin Server (either in the customer’s data center or in the cloud, with the content delivery network service provider – for example) and many cache servers (in multiple locations across the globe) so that, when a consumer is requesting a particular content on the Internet, it can be served by a cache server nearest to the consumer’s geographical location if the content is available there. Other wise, cache server fetches the content quickly from the origin server after protocol/route optimizations.
CDNs provide the following services 
  • Serving the content from the closest possible geographic location to minimize network latency.
  • Replication (Caching) and deployment of large number of servers to minimize the server latency.
  • Capacity On Demand.
  • Monthly charges as per the content delivery (without high initial investments).
  • Application Acceleration, Compression, Protocol optimization, etc.
  • Route optimization (to identify and route traffic through the best/shortest/least congested route between origin server and cache servers.
  • Static/ Dynamic/ Encrypted content optimization and faster delivery.

For example : User A edit the row of the TABLE for update ( In the User Interface changing data This is user thinking time) and in the same time User B edit the same record for update and click the update.

What are JEE Containers? What are their different types?

Containers are the interface between a component and the low-level, platform-specific functionality that supports the component. Before it can be executed, a web, enterprise bean, or application client component must be assembled into a Java EE module and deployed into its container. The assembly process involves specifying container settings for each component in the Java EE application and for the Java EE application itself. Container settings customize the underlying support provided by the Java EE server, including such services as security, transaction management, Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) API lookups, and remote connectivity. Here are some of the highlights. The Java EE security model lets you configure a web component or enterprise bean so that system resources are accessed only by authorized users. The Java EE transaction model lets you specify relationships among methods that make up a single transaction so that all methods in one transaction are treated as a ...
