I'm just starting out in Javascript development and have been struggling with build system - how do you achieve cache busting hashes, etc which are necessary to use for a CDN?

We are using webpack and it seems hard to do it.

I highly recommend surge.sh for easy static hosting--their cache-busting strategy is explained here:

we use cloudfront and nginx for most of our infrastructure - kinda hard to move to surge right now.

ETags is not viable for this kind of a setup - it pretty much means triggering a nginx reload which is what a cache-busting signature avoids.
