Accelerate Everything.

The High-Performance, Programmable Caching Engine for Scaling Web, API, Video, and CI/CD Infrastructure.

What is Varnish?

Varnish is a software-defined caching and acceleration layer engineered for extreme performance density.

By storing data closer to end users and serving it at native-code speeds, Varnish minimizes request distance to ensure instantaneous load times while delivering exceptional origin offload. This resilience ensures your services can scale reliably and fuel seamless, sustainable growth.

Our portfolio spans foundational open-source to advanced enterprise solutions, offering the flexibility of self-hosted, cloud-native, or fully managed delivery to meet the demands of any architectural mission.

Software-Defined Varnish deploys anywhere, integrating directly into your existing CI/CD and platform engineering workflows.	Performance-First Engineered for extreme offload, Varnish shields your origin servers by handling requests at the edge, ensuring stability under immense load.
Ownership Customize Varnish to your specific mission and maintain absolute control over how your content and data are delivered.	Efficient Scaling Scale delivery capacity and achieve massive resilience on a fraction of the hardware required by legacy solutions.
