This talk explores how caching powers web speed and resilience, from CDNs to memory stores, while revealing how increasing LLM-driven traffic disrupts traditional caching systems. Using practical, open-source examples, it provides a structured, in-depth look at modern caching technologies, their mechanisms, and the new challenges they face.

Sounds great. Until you try to explain it to someone.
This session offers a practical deep dive into industry-standard caching technologies and explores how the ongoingrise of the machines surge in LLM traffic is steadily sabotaging them. Structured around chapters and real-world, open-source examples, this talk covers both the underlying technology and the current challenges.
