Azure Front Door provides a globally distributed, internet-facing suite of services that offer acceleration, caching, protection, and highly customizable traffic processing. The WAF team develops products to protect distributed services that handle requests with extremely low latency, at high scale, processing terabits of traffic per second and millions of requests per second with exceptional reliability.
