The reasons for having a homegrown CDN is mentioned in the article. The major reason though is that our URL matching (determining whether to run a test or not on a particular URL) is complex, and CDNs cannot handle that.

Reason API doc is not public is because API is on demand right now, but anyone can use it. They just have to request for a key from us.



I still don't get why the docs cannot be public. Stripe for example has public API docs.
