Title: Varnish - The 9 Circles of Hell
By: Luis Ferro
About: Adding a cache system will always increase the complexity of any solution. That is the cost of potentially improved performance. During this talk, we will cover (very quickly) what is Varnish, how you can use it and see several (9 to be exact) ways to use it with real cases. Slides will be on Slideshare, code on Github, comments on Joinedin.
