Slack is an office communication software that has been launched for more than 10 years. It is not only an internal communication platform for publishing posts and announcements, but also allows users to create channels with different themes to facilitate the diversion of various projects. It also allows for the integration of various in-depth applications, such as Dropbox, Google Docs, etc. .
For example, when users upload files or information to these connected applications, Slack will automatically update the channel and notify members in the channel, greatly simplifying communication costs at work.
There are also intuitive and fast history search functions, etc. Because of its user-friendly design that meets users' pain points, Slack quickly made waves in the corporate world after its launch in 2013.

CDN is a group of proxy servers (Proxy Server) placed based on geographical location. Among them, the proxy server is an intermediate server between the client and the server, and the proxy server will also be placed at the network edge (Network Edge). Also because the edge of the network is close to the end user, the placement of the proxy server helps to quickly transmit the corresponding data to the user by reducing delays and saving bandwidth.
