AI summary · glm-5.3-flash

Cloudflare prototyped Zstandard compression inside its Pingora-based cache, estimating petabytes of storage could be saved on existing hardware.

Cloudflare engineers explored whether the same hardware could yield more cache space by adding compression to its cache infrastructure. They prototyped compression using Zstandard inside the Pingora-based stack and estimated potential savings of petabytes of cache storage.

  • Zstandard compression prototyped inside Cloudflare's cache
  • Pingora-based infrastructure targeted for efficiency gains
  • Potential savings of petabytes without new hardware
