SubscribeRailsConf 2008 Presentation – Assembling Pages Last
I presented this morning at RailsConf about Edge Caching and ESI. You can download my presentation below.
Assembling Pages Last: Edge Caching, ESI, and Rails
People asked some awesome questions, caught the edge cases I didnt want to cover which were complicated, like authorization/security, multi-level ESI includes, per page include limits, etc. The people at RailsConf are awesome. Thats totally why I enjoy these events.
Being Estonian, this was humorous to read, we do love our singing festivals:)
I guess a simpler (and not so powerful) variation of this technique would be to page-cache the overall template and fill specific parts of the page by rjs requests. I wonder how concurrent rjs requests are in different browsers?
