UploadThing + CDN

Hi all, I've tried searching but haven't been able to find a clear cut answer - Has anybody used other CDNs with UploadThing? I've seen some discussions about UT using cloudflare, so does that mean I don't need to set up my own CDN if I'm using UT?

UT is already using a cdn for you

can you use a cdn of top of it? most likely a worker that requests the image and streams back the buffer

ah got it, that's really good to know. thank you! do you think there any specific reasons to use another CDN on top of UT?

hiding urls

-> https://files.your-domain.com/some-url.png
--> worker takes the request and look-up the correct url
---> request to the UT url
--> starts streaming the response back
-> user sees file
