A Scalability Service for Dynamic Web Applications
Summary: Prototype proxy-caching “scalability-as-a-service” for dynamic web apps enabling third-party per-click scaling; demonstrates feasibility but exposes lack of scalable consistency. Introduces a fully-distributed, provider-independent consistency scheme and analyzes the scalability vs. data-secrecy tradeoff in shared caches. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
