Really? I would say most of us are comfortable with how Nginx and ATS are engineered and how the kernel works.
If anything, I think the concern is the fact that you are working for a publicly traded CDN yet you came to this thread armed with nothing more than a load of BS and FUD. I will say this connected a few dots in my mind and possibly added some color to what others think.
- kev009 9y agoYes, really, and no, only you and phk have shown this paranoia; most the userbase here agrees by votes. The software I'm discussing is all free open source software and anyone can test for themselves in their own environment to call bullshit. I gain and lose nothing by Varnish being anywhere on the spectrum of good and bad at any aspect of content delivery. I'd hope it would be the best it can be, I don't know what kind of person would wish otherwise. If you got the I/O model I care about right I still couldn't use it (or ATS or any other $newfossproject for reasons stated in response to another person) but I'd be pleased for the professional community. The market is supporting multiple viable open caching applications, those will trivially nibble at commercial CDNs and nothing I say or do is going to change that.. the caching software is not the hardest/most expensive part of operating a global CDN, and many companies will steadfastly solve all those problems for themselves too, and I will again be pleased..
