Now that the holiday in the US is over we can get back to our normal programming. Today we are going to focus on performance. First, on msol, they talk about why you are probably wrong about caching. The idea is that caching is not entirely easy and it opens up a different class of problems. You have been warned :). On StackShare, we get a glimpse of how Clearbit scales to 2M API requests per day. Lastly, CloudFlare shows us an interesting way to get some more performance by using a kernel bypass.
As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
