To the Moon Overcoming Latency for Fun and Adventure
summary
Surge is a static-hosting system built on Node.js that names files by their content hash and uses S3 for origin, Redis, an in-process LRU and browser service workers to stack caches for roughly 1,000× capacity gains per tier. Folding paper 42 times reaches the Moon—illustration of compound caching—and the server on the moon is a thought experiment: network latency is beatable by layering. The inflight pattern deduplicates concurrent misses so a single S3 fetch serves many requests, avoiding thundering-cache-fills.
