Story behind Lightna
Having years of experience with performance improvements at the top e-commerce companies in Europe, after another investigation on the topic, the idea of Lightna was born as an alternative for moving into more complex caching strategies. The solution wasn't applied to the project it was designed for as it wasn't market-proven and was pretty raw at the time.
Nevertheless, the idea received great support from technical experts, inspiring the beginning of the Lightna project.
