Mediation is a real word though?

  That is true, but the typo is because they presumably meant to reference this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guru_Meditation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guru_Meditation

    That wiki references the Varnish version. I think it's an intentional alteration of the original, given the context.

      That edit was added after today's fastly outage began.
      • nkozyra 5y ago
        Even so, mediation makes sense in this context given fastly's business model. It could be a typo or an attempt to be clever.

    ...and naturally someone has already updated the page today to include (and highlight) its use and mispelling on Varnish.
    • richrichardsson 5y ago
      Someone (I can't unfortunately due to IP block) needs to change that. The part about the spelling is false, apparently [1] it's an intentional change by Fastly so that they can tell if it's their own Varnish or a customer's Varnish that is throwing an error.
