Curious why they're using squid and not varnish for caching. Weird how they're progressive with PHP but still sticking with the antiquated squid.

- neilk 12y agoI think Gabriel was referring to a historical moment -- Wikimedia does use Varnish now. "We currently use Varnish for serving bits.wikimedia.org, upload.wikimedia.org, text of pages retrieved from WMF projects, and various miscellaneous web services. Nothing uses Squid." -- https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Varnish https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Varnish

- renaudg 12y agoThey said they were using Squid back in 2004, not necessarily now still. And "progressive" with PHP but not Squid ? They're both technologies from the same era, Facebook just made PHP more usable.
