Range caching used to have a knob nobody could set right! Too small: floods of tiny origin fetches. Too big: a few-MB seek could pull 128 MiB from origin. So we deleted the knob. R2's p99 TTFB was cut in half. Origin Range Requests, now on every plan: blog.cloudflare.com/origin-r…

Origin Range Requests: Serving large files without range-request tuning

Naive byte-range caching can waste gigabytes of origin bandwidth on small requests. We rebuilt our cache architecture in Pingora to coordinate partial fetches automatically, cutting R2 p99 latency in...

Amused that AWS just unilaterally cancelled Cloudflare's Reinvent booth. There are always signs when someone finally realizes they're losing. Guess we'll just attend and throw the most fun side events without paying Amazon! Reply if you want an invite.

The long game with vary 🤑... more on compression dictionaries soon!
Patrick Meenan@patmeenanSep 22
Yay! Underappreciated but "vary" support is critical for using compression dictionaries effectively and leveraging the edge cache for deltas.

We were told Vary is “the ugliest part of HTTP.” So naturally we spent a bunch of time implementing it. Cloudflare now supports Vary in Cache Rules. You can normalize the chaos instead of choosing between wrong responses and a useless cache. blog.cloudflare.com/vary-sup…

We just shipped support for the ugliest part of HTTP: Vary

Vary support is now available in Cache Rules on every plan. You can normalize known negotiation headers, pass exact values through to the origin when those small differences matter, or bypass cache...

Could we get more cache space with the same hardware? We prototyped compression inside Cloudflare's cache to find out. cfl.re/4qNSwRy
