  I kinda forgot the Traffic Server existed. I remember we looked at it 10 years ago for a project, but just went with nginx instead. I don't think we ever really saw the point in Traffic Server, and I still don't. That might just be because it solves a set of problems I don't deal with.

Nowadays CDNs and edge caches and web accelerators are seeing a resurgence, and in practice they can mean having an instance of Apache Traffic Server deployed somewhere.

  Not sure if this is what you're thinking of, but to be clear, this isn't the Apache web server (aka apache httpd or apache2).

  This was originally “Yahoo! Traffic Server”, was developed by Yahoo! in the early 2000’s and was used in part to power Yahoo! CDN. At the time Yahoo! relied on Akamai and its own network.

    It was developed by inktomi[1]; inktomi was acquired by yahoo in the one of the great extinction events of the early internet. [1]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inktomi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inktomi

      What's interesting is that I worked adjacent to the Inktomi team, and later in a group operating ATS servers. I was a senior engineer at the time, yet the Inktomi engineers were already very, very senior. Source: ex-Y!
