PHP has become mature and it has become the language of choice for building large scale websites and webapplications. The adoption of PHP by enterprises has led to the fact that scalability, caching & performance have become increasingly popular topics. Varnish is a reverse caching proxy that is steadily becoming the default standard. A lot of people know what Varnish is and what it can do out of the box, but there’s plenty more it can do with the necessary tweaking. During my talk I will show you which tools it comes with and how it can be configured/programmed to serve the most common use cases.
