Orchestrate a scalable, open-source CDN with Apache Traffic Control
Apache Traffic Control provides a full suite of tools—API, web UI, routing, monitoring, and statistics—to deploy and manage a high‑performance content delivery network using Apache Traffic Server.
Apache Traffic Control is a modular platform that enables organizations to build and operate large‑scale content delivery networks. It leverages Apache Traffic Server for caching and adds essential CDN functions such as traffic routing, health monitoring, and real‑time analytics.
The project targets network operators, ISPs, and enterprises that need a programmable, open‑source alternative to commercial CDN services. Its RESTful Traffic Ops API and the Traffic Portal web GUI give developers and administrators fine‑grained control over edge servers, cache policies, and delivery routes.
Deploying Traffic Control involves installing the core components—Traffic Ops, Traffic Router, Traffic Monitor, Traffic Stats, and Traffic Portal—alongside Apache Traffic Server instances. Metrics are stored in InfluxDB for charting and alerting. While the master branch is under active development, comprehensive documentation and an active Apache community support production use cases.
When teams consider Apache Traffic Control, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
