Show HN: Bloom, a REST API Caching Middleware (journal.valeriansaliou.name) 5 points by valeriansaliou 8y ago ↗ HN
[–] stephenr 8y ago ↗ I'm confused why varnish wouldn't work.The stated use case is to have the backend making API calls to the cache layer to invalidate (purge) certain routes when they've changed.You could absolutely do that with varnish. [–] stephenr 8y ago ↗ Furthermore, the "documentation" on this makes it seem ridiculously simplistic in terms of its functionality.Non authenticated pages are cached regardless of status? Http 500's are cached without an option not to?The requirement to set a "shard" http header seems to indicate that the http Host header is not used to identify a unique URL?
