We could save petabytes of cache storage with Zstandard and Pingora
Researchers demonstrate that combining the Zstandard compression algorithm with the Pingora reverse‑proxy server can dramatically reduce the amount of data stored in web caches. Tests show potential savings of multiple petabytes, improving efficiency for large‑scale content delivery networks. The approach leverages Zstandard’s high compression ratios and Pingora’s flexible caching architecture to cut storage requirements without sacrificing performance.
