✓No state unless required ✓Cache-control discipline ✓Chop pages into content
blocks ✓AJAX or ESI ✓Reasonable cache variations ✓Cache invalidation strategy Advice for developers
✓Normalize input ✓Cookies blacklist/whitelist ✓URL blacklist/whitelist VCL
When you respect HTTP
Developers are bridging the gap too
Collaboration & empathy AKA DevOps

Async, concurrent & non-blocking processing
Common goal
Better end-user experience
Frameworks & CMS’es

Bullet proof?
Well-designed software should be more scalable
Well-designed software should be faster

Always cache … when you can
Well-designed software doesn’t require much VCL
Well-designed software knows how to purge the cache
Challenges
Caching state of mind
Purging
