DragonflyDB (MySQL cache)
On a warm cache, 90–95% of page requests never reach Magento. The edge answers directly from DragonflyDB in under 2 ms. Images are served pre-encoded as AVIF. Assets are pre-compressed as zstd. The browser has a service worker that caches assets locally and refreshes them the moment the price changes — without a manual purge.
