Imagine having all that being run by Varnish as the data plane? Do you think the whole MACH stack users would then move their workload to such a controller/ingress/gateway? I think they wouldn't, because they don't neces

I do owe you an email reply on that. I haven't forgotten that, just so you know. But yes, Varnish Cache is not exactly what you would call Cloud Native. Varnish Software have launched Pro currently on AWS only at a much lower price poi

TinyKVM is certainly technology that in itself is rather groundbreaking, but it is obviously even more powerful in the context of request handling at lightning speed. But you are right it could be used for other things. Would you have read

Sorry for not replying. But good to see you got your answer in the end. Tip, Although not entirely what you asked, but related: what about using more caving in your CI/CD Pipeline. Customers see incredible time savings when using Varni

(not the author, but a friend of friend ;) Could you specify this a bit? @codethief The way it's phrased makes it sound like you want to stuff TinyKVM into a container, but I suspect what you are actually asking to implement an OCI run

One of the most well executed marketing stunts ever seen must be the "Powered by Ubuntu Linux" stickers that System76 provided back in the day when your OS was still relevant and people thought Ubuntu would be the next big thing i

Every time a friend or colleague asks why I use "that" I simply thrown my laptop to the floor, pick it up and continue working on it. Then I ask them to try the same with their Apple laptop. That normally makes them never ask such

The reference to Bump is also on the copyright notice on the license file. As Lasse pointed out, we never meant to take away any merit from your work. If you feel we could highlight the Hitch's origin from Stud better, let us know how.

Totally agreed! I believe that the power and utility of VSL are so underestimated and overlooked that I don't know where to start...

Since 3.0 you have VMODs, to counter for the well-founded lack of Inline C support around. These Varnish modules will extend VCL with C, C++ or even Rust libraries on a safer manner: https://varnish-cache.org/vmods/ If

Yes, Varnish does h2c so for HTTPS you will need something like 1.4 or later: https://hitch-tls.org/ Made by Varnish Software to provide a "browser-vendor-compliant" HTTP/2 stack.

I think that the point with Varnish and VCL is that you can adapt it, tailor it and even extend it (the language with additional functionality from external libraries i.e. cURL or memcached) to the point that it fits your system just the wa

I think your description might fit if performance and scalability is a non-issue for your site. Your own caching will make your webapp (or API) scale (say 2x faster or serve 15x the amount of users), but if you need your app to take some
