A #devops question: is there a way to set up a "rolling cache" with nginx?
I want it to handle each request like so:
1. Immediately respond with the cached version
2. Start rebuilding the cache for that request in the background, so the next request for this URI gets a newer cached version

@robryk @rysiek ah! Thank you so much! I tried searching for that, but I wasn't sure what keywords to use 🙏🙏🙏

I've never used that feature, but http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_proxy_module.html#proxy_cache_background_update claims to be a part of what you want.

yup, that's what my Fasada nginx config does:

This has been battle-tested in production as well. I should really write it up. 😉
