- jonahx 11y agoSo when hitting a comment page, HN's backend is being hit in some way, whether by reading a db or by concatenating flat files or something else? Or are they just using a local cache that isn't pushed out to CloudFlare because there would be so much churn that pushing to CF wouldn't be a benefit?
- MichaelGG 11y agoAre they using Railgun to only transmit changes? Railgun seems like the neatest thing CF offers, as, AFAIK, you get the bandwidth benefits of caching without having to deal with invalidation.
