It is recommended to use CloudFront only for files where distribution time and speed are genuinely essential, such as assets for the marketing pages of your main website.
Total absence of transparency of the basic CloudFront framework.
Although Amazon offers a guide to maximizing CloudFront caching efficiency, you don't get a lot of transparency on precisely how cache operates in every area and every type of query. This results in less efficiency relative to a similar self-hosted system that you can customize to your specific use case.
The decision is yours. The advantages of AWS are enough for everyone to want to try it out. Yet there are potential setbacks.
