156 Using BigPipe to Achieve Incredible Site Speed in Drupal 8 with Wim Leers - Modules Unraveled Podcast

## Big Pipe
* What is Big Pipe?
* This isn’t a Drupal specific thing right? Where did the idea of BigPipe come from?
* How does it work?
* Builds on Drupal 8’s caching system, specifically cacheability metadata (tags, contexts, max-age)
* Rendering system (bubbling, placeholders)
* page cache / dynamic page cache
* BigPipe is built ON TOP OF ALL OF THE ABOVE
* Does it work for anonymous and authenticated users?
* Is this compatible with reverse proxies like Varnish?
* Does BigPipe affect the need for something like redis or memchache?
* How does BigPipe relate to authcache?

## Use Cases
* How can we start using it? What’s the install process?
* What do we need to do to configure it for our site?
* Is BigPipe ready to be used?
* Is there anything like this for Drupal 7?
