In case of a spike in traffic, you can automatically spin up more resources, often in a matter of seconds. Likewise, you can scale down when your application experiences decreased traffic. For example, as traffic increases, costs will too. This can dramatically decrease network latency and its effect on the end-user experience.

CDNs use load-balancing techniques to distribute incoming traffic across multiple servers called Points of Presence (PoPs) which distribute content closer to end-users and improve overall performance. When an edge server goes down, end users in the affected region may experience an increase in latency for that specific location.

There is no way to model how much more traffic you can send to that system before it exceeds it’s SLA. Every opportunity for delay due to more work than the best case or more time waiting than the best case increases the latency and they all add up and create a long tail.
