In 2022, what tech do you use to deliver James Webb images today?


While we wait for the first James Webb space telescope images shortly - with I would imagine an unprecedented demand from every corner of the internet - what tech would you use for hosting these images today?

S3 plus CloudFront? Maybe CloudFlare?

The more creative and less expensive solution is probably a torrent.

I think "serving large high-traffic files" is more or less solved.
