Your application may not need faster code. It may need to stop doing the same work over and over again.
A page can be perfectly optimized and still feel slow when every request crosses continents, reaches the origin, waits on dependencies, regenerates an answer that already exists, and sends the same bytes back across the network.
Caching changes that equation.
But production caching is not as simple as increasing a TTL or switching on a CDN.
What happens when a browser keeps yesterday's JavaScript after a deployment? Why does a CDN report a high hit ratio while the origin bill keeps climbing? Which cookies belong in a cache key? When is stale content safer than an error? How do you invalidate thousands of distributed objects without creating a traffic surge? And how do you accelerate personalized applications without accidentally serving one user's data to another?
Web Caching and Edge Delivery gives developers, platform engineers, DevOps professionals, architects, and technical leaders a practical framework for designing faster and more resilient web delivery systems.
Rather than focusing on one vendor, the book builds from durable HTTP principles and then shows how those ideas extend into modern CDNs and programmable edge platforms. The manuscript explicitly targets developers, platform/DevOps professionals, architects, and technical leaders rather than assuming the reader is already an HTTP specialist.
Inside, you'll learn how to:
- Understand where latency actually accumulates across client, network, edge, origin, and dependencies
- Use browser caching intelligently with freshness rules, validators, conditional requests, and versioned URLs
- Understand Cache-Control, max-age, s-maxage, private, no-store, no-cache, and immutable without relying on misleading intuition
- Design reverse-proxy and shared-cache architectures that reduce repeated origin work
- Prevent cache stampedes with request collapsing, stale serving, shields, and controlled refill behavior
- Design cache keys that preserve correctness without destroying hit rates through unnecessary variation
- Handle query parameters, cookies, authentication, language, geography, experiments, and device variants safely
- Choose freshness policies based on business tolerance for staleness rather than arbitrary TTL conventions
- Combine validation, stale-while-revalidate, stale-if-error, and explicit invalidation
- Build event-driven invalidation using tags, dependency information, and targeted purge
- Avoid purge-all workflows that turn the cache into an origin-load amplifier
- Cache dynamic and personalized applications while keeping shared and private data properly separated
- Understand CDN points of presence, shields, origin selection, cold-cache behavior, and multi-CDN trade-offs
- Use programmable edge logic for routing, normalization, token validation, transformation, and controlled personalization
- Protect applications against cache poisoning, cache deception, privacy leaks, unsafe headers, and authorization mistakes
- Measure cache effectiveness using origin offload, miss cost, stale-serving rate, regional latency, and delivery-layer SLOs
- Treat cache policies, invalidation rules, and edge configuration as production infrastructure that requires testing, canaries, rollback, and observability
- Build an edge-delivery strategy that scales from individual optimizations into a governed delivery platform
Stop making every request travel farther and work harder than necessary. Design delivery so the right answer is reused at the right place, for the right audience, for exactly as long as it remains trustworthy.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to AHA-BUCH GmbH, Einbeck, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
