João Tomé is joined by our CTO, John Graham-Cumming.\nIn this week's program, we discuss our CEO, Matthew Prince, visiting Lisbon, Portugal (which includes a picnic). We delve into the Regional Tiered Cache, which offers an additional layer of caching for Enterprise customers with a global traffic footprint, enabling faster content delivery by reducing network latency.\nHowever, the main focus is bidding farewell to Railgun, a web optimization technique launched by Cloudflare ten years ago. We explore why it was developed by John Graham-Cumming, its relevance, and the decision to deprecate it in January 2024.\nLastly, we provide a guide on how to perform dynamic data collection using Zaraz Worker Variables (Cloudflare Zaraz being our server-side third-party manager designed for speed, privacy, and security).\nYou can check the blog posts:\nReduce latency and increase cache hits with Regional Tiered Cache\nCloudflare is deprecating Railgun\nDynamic data collection with Zaraz Worker Variables","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/JEk1CAhFcWIBJOFKIzKfdvQ-zUX6aXTuOCJVJJHruOk/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9jYThl/MjA0YjY3NjRjMzE4/NTdlZTdjMzFjNjll/YTM1YS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
