Nowadays I almost have zero intersection with Varnish - my own impression it was much more popular like 10 years ago or even more.

I know couple of frameworks/systems support it, especially in php world.

Looks like that it's lost in layers - dev guys don't care much, sysadmins are sort of extincted, noone to bother to add Varnish into request processing queue. Needless to say, people ok HN even complain on Nginx configs,while for base caching it's much simpler, from my perspective.

Varnish is amazing. Nowadays people blow up projects with kubernetes, JS frameworks, million other tools, while the same can be achieved with varnish+nginx with much less efforts.

Imagine having all that being run by Varnish as the data plane?

Do you think the whole MACH stack users would then move their workload to such a controller/ingress/gateway?

I think they wouldn't, because they don't necessarily understand (or need?) the advantages of caching at scale and flexibility that Varnish provides.

But if you say that you will accelerate everything in their K8s cluster... Then maybe ;)

We'll see. I have a wish for Kubecon in Q4
