#Pingora

Cloudflare's global network is immense but not limitless. As we look for small ways to trim our resource usage, we sometimes get lucky and we can cut significantly more. Here’s how we reduced one of our Pingora-based service's RAM usage with statistics.

Could we get more cache space with the same hardware? We prototyped compression inside Cloudflare's cache to find out.

I would like to build my own reverse proxy in rust using pingora as a framework. My question is: how bad of an idea is it to replace a battle hardened haproxy instance with something self-made with regards to security / CVE's?…
