One of the companies running ATS, of course, is Yahoo!, for kinds of purposes: http://developer.yahoo.com/blogs/ydn/posts/2010/10/yahoo-mail-beta/ Now to the other questions: I think major benefit of ATS is that it delivers the promised performance out of the box -- there's no need for "advanced" configuration tweaks to get the same benchmark results as everyone else is getting, all you need is the hardware. Once you need to deliver more than 90K QPS, we'll talk :) Finally, to customization: There's Plugins, you can write. Despite the fact that Traffic Server is written in C++, it has a clean C API, which can be used from pretty much anything, i.e.: Python+ctypes (I wish I could find the examples right now..). We're also working on integrating Lua - whether as configuration language or as programming language or both remains to be seen. i > -- > Marcos Luís Ortíz Valmaseda > Software Engineer > Centro de Tecnologías de Gestión de Datos (DATEC) > Universidad de las Ciencias Informáticas > http://uncubanitolinuxero.blogspot.com > http://www.linkedin.com/in/marcosluis2186 i -- Igor Galić Tel: +43 (0) 664 886 22 883 Mail: i.ga...@brainsware.org URL: http://brainsware.org/
