Apache Traffic Server Description

Apache Traffic Serverâ„¢ is a high-performance, scalable, and flexible caching proxy server that supports both HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 protocols. Originally developed as a commercial product, it was later contributed to the Apache Foundation by Yahoo!, and is now widely utilized by numerous prominent content delivery networks (CDNs) and content providers. By caching and reusing frequently accessed web pages, images, and web service calls, it enhances response times while minimizing server load and bandwidth consumption. The server is designed to efficiently scale on contemporary symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) hardware, capable of managing tens of thousands of requests each second. Users can easily implement features like keep-alive, content filtering or anonymization, and load balancing by integrating a proxy layer. Additionally, it offers APIs that allow for the development of custom plug-ins, enabling modifications to HTTP headers, managing Edge Side Includes (ESI) requests, or even creating unique caching algorithms. With its ability to process over 400TB of data daily at Yahoo! in both forward and reverse proxy configurations, Apache Traffic Server stands out as a robust and reliable solution for high-traffic environments. Its proven track record makes it an ideal choice for organizations looking to enhance their web infrastructure efficiency.
