Apache Traffic Server Reviews

Apache Traffic Server Description

Apache Traffic Server™ software is a fast, extensible and compliant HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 caching proxy server. Yahoo! Yahoo! donated it to the Apache Foundation. It is currently used by many major CDNs and content creators. You can improve your response time and reduce server load by caching and reusing frequently requested web pages, images and web service calls. Modern SMP hardware supports this application, which can handle 10s of thousands requests per second. You can easily add keep-alive, filter, anonymize, or load balancing features by adding a proxy layer. APIs allow you to create your own plug-ins that can do everything from modifying HTTP headers, handling ESI requests, and writing your own cache algorithm. Yahoo! handles over 400TB per day Apache Traffic Server can be used as reverse proxy or forward proxy.
