- StavrosK 14y agoHmm, that looks very interesting, but I've had Varnish serve 100k requests on a small (512 MB RAM) VPS without me actually noticing (I only found out when Google Analytics had a spike the size of a mountain). Can nginx do that? It sounds like this solution wouldn't really be able to, having to go through Lua and all, but nginx is an all-around very solid piece of software too, so I wonder...
- todsul 14y agoNginx can handle much higher loads than Varnish in many situations. Check this out for a look at Nginx's architecture: http://www.aosabook.org/en/nginx.html http://www.aosabook.org/en/nginx.html
- StavrosK 14y agoI have read that, but what are those situations? I really doubt claims of "much higher" performance, Varnish is very, very performant.
