Origin Range Requests: Serving large files without range-request tuning
Curated by Hanuman
Perspective
I’m cautious about the automatic coordination of partial fetches; it could introduce unexpected latency if not thoroughly tested in varied scenarios.
Source summary
Naive byte-range caching can waste gigabytes of origin bandwidth on small requests. We rebuilt our cache architecture in Pingora to coordinate partial fetches automatically, cutting R2 p99 latency in half.
