Case Study: Axios achieves secure, fast global content delivery with Cloudflare

Axios thwarts DDoS attacks and serves 19 million visits with Cloudflare

Axios, an American news website, required robust security and performance solutions to protect against DDoS attacks and handle massive traffic surges from breaking news. Their challenge was to ensure their content remained accessible at all times to maintain their brand reputation. They turned to vendor Cloudflare for its DDoS Protection and Content Delivery Network (CDN) services.

The solution implemented by Cloudflare provided Advanced DDoS Protection to automatically block malicious traffic and a global CDN to ensure fast content delivery. As a result, Axios has never suffered the effects of a targeted DDoS attack and can reliably reach its global audience. Furthermore, by using Cloudflare Workers, Axios engineers improved site functionality and caching efficiency, saving hits against their origin and future-proofing their infrastructure.
