When you have nginx as a reverse proxy to your application servers, what are the benenfits of adding Varnish as the caching layer between nginx and the app servers (as depicted here http://www.heroku.com/how/architecture) vs having nginx perform the caching, now that ncache is built into nginx?
For example, why is (nginx -> Varnish -> uWSGI) better than (nginx w/caching -> uWSGI)? I have read http://www.varnish-cache.org/trac/wiki/ArchitectNotes, but I'm still trying to understand the differences in this context. Thank you. - James _______________________________________________ varnish-misc mailing list [email protected] http://www.varnish-cache.org/lists/mailman/listinfo/varnish-misc
