jsDelivr

jsDelivr creates value by providing free, globally distributed delivery of open-source assets from package ecosystems such as npm and GitHub, reducing hosting complexity for developers and improving asset performance and reliability. Rather than charging mainstream users per request or bandwidth, it appears to sustain operations through sponsorships, donations, infrastructure partnerships and bespoke custom CDN support for larger open-source projects and enterprise-grade requirements.

jsDelivr is a developer infrastructure provider focused on delivering open-source web assets through a public content delivery network. Its core service lets developers and organisations serve JavaScript, CSS and other static files directly from npm and GitHub through globally cached, versioned URLs, supported by a multi-CDN architecture. It also offers a public API for package metadata and usage statistics, an ESM delivery service, and customised CDN arrangements for open-source projects with specialised requirements.

The platform appears to monetise indirectly rather than through standard usage-based SaaS pricing. The main public CDN and API are free to use, while revenue and operational support come from donations, sponsorships, in-kind infrastructure support and custom sponsored CDN engagements for larger projects or organisations. Its direct customers are therefore developers, open-source maintainers, foundations and enterprises that need reliable distribution of public static assets.
