After a while you hit the limits
Caching
Memcached or Redis
None
Optimize database Optimize runtime A void A void
Varnish

Cookies?
Cache Control?
Developers Sysadmins
None
✓State ✓Performance ✓Scalability ✓Cache invalidation ✓Architecture People often forget
Who writes the VCL?
Varnish still considered a sysadmin responsibility
None
Coaching developers & sysadmins
✓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
Architecture
Service Oriented Architecture
REST Cacheable in Varnish if done right
Monolith vs Microservices
Distributed systems
Big Data & NoSQL
Async, concurrent & non-blocking processing
Common goal
Better end-user experience
Frameworks & CMS’es
None
Bullet proof?
Well-designed software should be more scalable
Well-designed software should be faster
Well-designed software doesn’t need much caching?
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
There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache
invalidation and naming things. —- Phil Karlton
SSL termination + SSL awareness in application
Static assets To cache or not to cache?
Invalidate or not?
Clustering & HA
