May Varnish Meetup

Come hear Kenton Jacobsen (https://twitter.com/kentonjacobsen), Head of Engineering at Conde Nast for Vogue and Style Properties, and our own Stephen Basile (https://twitter.com/stephenb) talk about their experiences with Varnish, and pick up some little-known tips and tricks.

Since the relaunch of the website in August of 2014, Vogue has been pushing the boundaries of multimedia storytelling through video clips, animated GIFs, and interactive page templates. Core to all of these experiences is a dynamic image and video processor and a well-architected caching strategy. Kenton will be sharing the thought process behind the system and some butt-saving caching techniques.

• 7:30 - Break, Presentation from Stephen Basile
