A Amazon CloudFront Case Study

DataDome is a software as a service (SaaS) cybersecurity solution for web and mobile applications that analyzes and manages non-human traffic in real time. DataDome uses Lambda@Edge and Amazon CloudFront to make its bot-mitigation cybersecurity solution available in one click. Lambda@Edge is a serverless computing service, executing code with event triggers and automatically managing resources needed to execute the code. The DataDome dashboard provides companies with detailed analytics on bot traffic for websites and APIs, and provides one-click bot-by-bot blocking/unblocking to fine tune user and online-database security. Before using Lambda@Edge, DataDome customers had to set up a server-side module—along with a JS tag in the HTML code—to activate bot protection. Lambda@Edge allows customers to eliminate this step, simplifying the onboarding process. Users can now activate DataDome in fewer than two minutes with just one click, enabling them to protect their website, content, users, and API at “the edge.” DataDome deployed its solution across AWS edge locations globally, making sure customers around the world get optimal latency. “Thanks to Lambda@Edge and CloudFront, DataDome simplified the onboarding process for our customers, who can activate our bot protection in one click in their AWS console. We made our service available globally by deploying our solution across AWS edge locations. Integrating Lambda@Edge and CloudFront also allowed our company—based in France—to gain a global reach.” Benjamin Fabre, DataDome co-founder & CTO.
