Hi all,<div><br></div><div>I'm the founder of Academia.edu, which is a platform for academics to share research papers. We have been using Varnish for about 18 months, and have recently been experiencing some issues where items are falling out of the cache after a few minutes, despite a ttl of 30 days, leading to a 50% hit rate. </div>
<div><br></div><div>We've established that the pages are not being nuked by Varnish, nor are we purging them. We're looking to have an experienced eye look over our Varnish config to see if anything stands out. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Does anyone on this list know of any Varnish consultants who we might be able to hire on an hourly basis? I've looked into the price plan at <a href="https://www.varnish-software.com/products-services/price-plan">https://www.varnish-software.com/products-services/price-plan</a>, but it looks like the minimum spend there is 3,300 euros, and we are just looking for someone to scan our config for an hour or two initially, so an hourly consulting rate would suit us better. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Any recommendations or leads would be very helpful. We are based in San Francisco. Many thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>Richard</div><div><br></div><div><br clear="all"><div><br></div>-- <br><div>Richard Price</div>
