Yahoo Traffic Server: 700k lines of code, 9 months
Does anybody other than Yahoo use Traffic Server?
- dylanz 17y agoSo is this in the same category as Squid/Varnish/etc? What makes it stand out from the rest? I'd love to see/hear more about it, but the video, article and README aren't very verbose. I'm just too lazy to start reading the source for this, and would love a high level overview ;)
- fizx 17y agoI've done some limited evaluation of TS. Basically it's easy to configure like Squid/Varnish/etc, but what makes it stand out is that it has a really extensive and flexible plugin api. You can dig into the docs on it here: http://incubator.apache.org/trafficserver/docs/sdk/ http://incubator.apache.org/trafficserver/docs/sdk/
- siculars 17y agoKind of hard to find information out there... The OP link and links off that page don't lead anywhere useful. Googled around and came up with this: http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/TS/Traffic+Server http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/TS/Traffic+Server Which also yields: http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/TrafficServerProposal http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/TrafficServerProposal http://incubator.apache.org/projects/trafficserver.html http://incubator.apache.org/projects/trafficserver.html The Apache "champion" is Doug Cutting, of Hadoop fame, so it seems to have street cred.

- sriram_sun 17y agoMisleading title. They didn't write 700k lines of code in 9 months. It took them 9 months to opensource it.
