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?
