Varnish Cache
Varnish Cache is a tool that provides a caching HTTP reverse proxy in order to accelerate your web applications. Once Varnish Cache is installed in front of any server that understands HTTP and configured to cache the contents, delivery speeds are typically enhanced by a factor of 300-1000x, depending on architecture. Kilobyte22 finds this tool along with HAProxy to be a winning combo.

Leveraging Cache to improve Web Performance
In this case, caching mechanism is situated in the proxy server or reverse proxy server like Nginx, Apache, or Varnish, and most probably it is a part of ISP (Internet Service Provider).

Beyond Changing Technology: Scaling Your Applications Efficiently
To handle this level of traffic, you can use tools such as Varnish HTTP Cache, which caches the information of a news article starting from the first user who accesses and makes the request. Once Varnish caches the page, subsequent users will receive a response that is saved in memory. This process allows you to avoid unnecessary synchronous requests and send a quick response to users.

Web resource caching: Server-side
A couple of dedicated server-side resource caching solutions have emerged over the years: Memcached, Varnish, Squid, etc. Other solutions are less focused on web resource caching and more generic, e.g., Redis or Hazelcast.

Microfrontends: Microservices for the Frontend
Edge Side Includes (ESI): a more modern alternative to SSI. ESI can handle variables, have conditionals, and supports better error handling. ESI is supported by caching HTTP servers such as Varnish.

I NEED YOUR HELP WITH MY INTERNSHIP PROJECT
For this objective, I am looking for willing volunteers to run through two phases of test deployments. These phases will each involve creating a scalable Varnish Cache cluster on Azure Kubernetes Service and answering a few questions about your experience. The deployments should take a total of around 30 min (or less) and will require the creation of a very minimal Kubernetes cluster. For some more information on Varnish Cache check out: https://varnish-cache.org/

What are some programs that you would not write in C instead of another higher-level language?
The most installed operating system is written in C. The one true text editor and it's unwanted spawn are both written in C. All of the popular web servers like Apache HTTPd, ngnix and lighthtttpd are all written in C. The most popular scripting language and the most hated scripting language according to Reddit are both written in C. GNOME UI is written entirely in C. I can go on and on..
What are some alternatives?
envoy - Cloud-native high-performance edge/middle/service proxy
Caddy - Fast and extensible multi-platform HTTP/1-2-3 web server with automatic HTTPS
Memcached - memcached development tree
HAProxy - HAProxy documentation
Squid - Squid Web Proxy Cache
Hiawatha - Hiawatha is an open source webserver with security, easy to use and lightweight as the three key features. Hiawatha supports among others (Fast)CGI, IPv6, URL rewriting and reverse proxy. It has security features no other webserver has, like blocking SQL injections, XSS and CSRF attacks and exploit attempts. The built-in monitoring tool makes it perfect for large scale deployments.
