Hammering home the performance-performance-performance theme again and again, we’ve told the story of caching and protecting your backend many times. We’ve talked a lot about the ways in which Varnish Streaming Server lets you scale up to serve live and VoD streaming content no matter the demand on your platform. But a big part of this story is maximizing the power of the capacity you already have. Ultimately that is what caching is all about: you make copies of content you need to deliver so the copies are delivered, much faster than roundtrips to the backend could achieve while protecting the backend from overload.
The Varnish blog is where our team writes about all things related to Varnish Cache and Varnish Software...or simply vents.
