Is there a reccomended CDN that can be easily used in context of CloudKit? For example, one may have some large assets (videos with DRM, for example) that need to be hosted outside of CloudKit (due to storage limits?).

If one was to host these assets in S3, for example, how could that tie into CloudKit? I there a reccomened practice for CDN/CloudKit usage case?

Thanks.

This is already supported in CloudKit. The record size limit in CloudKit is 1MB, but by using the asset type you can have much larger objects stored in asset storage which are simply referenced from the record.

Please read the documentation here:
