Users give you a few hundred milliseconds of patience. ORBIXA answers from the nearest anycast node, serves from cache when it can, and collapses concurrent misses into one origin fetch when it cannot. Source and issues: github.com/orbixa/orbixa.
180+ nodes announce the same address, so users land on the closest entry point without DNS games.
Caching rules per asset type, query string and cookie, with request collapsing that takes an order of magnitude off origin load.
Run JavaScript or WASM on the node for auth, rewrites and experiments, saving an origin round trip.
