Google uses it for nearly everything.
Facebook supports SPDY.
Twitter supports SPDY.
All CloudFlare sites support SPDY.
nginx supports it.
It's becoming more widely deployed on the large Internet sites that have the capability and engineering resources to make it happen. If you want to deploy it on your own site then nginx makes it easy.
- Tarang 13y agoYes you are right most of the big sites use spdy. The issue I meant to speak of was Its not that easy to use in the 'immediate' type of way. If I wanted to build a site running on SPDY and have a client side app to communicate to the server its not fully covered. Nginx wouldn't help to fully enjoy full of the benefits of SPDY because it would just be a transparent proxy back towards http. For instance I want to connect to my meteor app over DDP using SPDY but Its not possible to do that yet. When twitter does something like this they try and solve a legitimate issue without having much of an agenda that belongs only to itself. We all could use this.
- bennyg 13y agoI agree. Google does great engineering, but their "developer-as-an-end-user" to their engineering really suffers. Take a look at Android documentation vs. iOS documentation if you want an example. I really wish Google would hire some great engineers who actually LOVE technical writing and understand developer experience to create their APIs.
- regecks 13y ago> nginx supports it Well, one hopes. nginx is still on SPDY/2 which browser vendors are already preparing to remove support for ... https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/spdy-dev/XDudMZSq3e4 https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/spdy-dev/XDudMZSq3e4 So hooray for more up to date implementations!
