Cloudflare Tests Cache Transcoding to Reduce Storage Requirements
Cloudflare recently described a prototype called Cache Transcoding that compresses eligible cache content, mainly uncompressed text such as HTML, JSON, CSS, and JavaScript, using Zstandard before storing it on disk. The hyperscaler estimates that the approach could provide petabytes of additional effective cache capacity, although broader testing is still needed.

Lambda SnapStart Comes to Container Images, Ending a Packaging Tradeoff
AWS has extended Lambda SnapStart to container image functions, which hold up to 10 GB against 250 MB for zip archives. Teams previously chose between dependency headroom and sub-second startup. A Reddit thread from a month earlier shows what that cost: stripping whitespace and docstrings from installed packages to stay under the limit.
