DrupalCon Barcelona 2015: Caching at the Edge: CDNs for everyone

This talk focuses on the advanced caching capabilities in Drupal 8, highlighting its ability to cache content at the edge, which is particularly beneficial for sites with a large mobile user base, global audiences, or those requiring high performance, like e-commerce platforms. The speaker demonstrates how leveraging CDNs such as CloudFlare and Fastly simplifies caching processes, including efficient cache purging through cache tags and context management for both anonymous and authenticated users. The session covers practical techniques for optimizing page rendering, including BigPipe, Edge Side Includes (ESI), and hybrid rendering strategies, and offers insights into future developments like Service Workers.
