Developing Cacheable PHP Applications

Most of us are familiar with HTTP, but when it actually comes to creating cacheable web applications, there is still a lot to be learned.

In this presentation I will show you how to leverage specific HTTP caching mechanisms to achieve a good hit rate without losing touch with some of the challenges of real-world PHP projects.

Keywords: cache control, cache invalidation, cache revalidation, cache variations, conditional requests, stateful content, HTTP fragments, content negotiation, and edge compute.

The goal is to empower developers to control the behavior of reverse caching proxies (like Varnish or Content Delivery Networks), or even browser cache, using the power of HTTP.
