Speaker
Poul-Henning Kamp Varnish Architect, Varnish Software
For 30 years Poul-Henning Kamp has made computers do weird things, from accounting over air traffic control to protecting the majority of passwords on the Internet. He spent 15 years hacking the FreeBSD operating system before he wrote the Varnish HTTP accelerator by accident, but his homepage is still written in HTML 3.2
Poul-Henning's Talks
Getting the content out, from Heidelberg to Varnish
Time: 2:30 - 3:30 p.m., September 29th
Location: Edinburgh Room
Today's newspaper finds few buyers tomorrow and an HTTP response arriving seconds after the request finds few readers. Getting the message efficiently delivered is an entirely different job than getting it written in the first place. This talk is about the thoughts behind and inspirations for the Varnish HTTP accelerator, which have set new standards for performance, flexibility and price in HTTP delivery.
