Have been looking forward to this release for quite a while! Huge props to the Cloudflare team for putting this out there!

I've been operating a cluster of NGINX nodes on Fly.io and using njs (NGINX's custom JS scripting engine) for all of my custom routing logic, and have been really feeling the limitations (had to spin up a separate companion app in nodejs to work around some of these). Having access to the entirety of the Rust language and ecosystem to customize routing behavior sounds incredibly compelling!

I did a quick scan over the codebase and couldn't see anything around disk caching like in NGINX, only memory caching. Curious if Cloudflare is operating all their production nodes with memory caching as opposed to disk caching at the moment?

I'd love to see an option for disk caching for use cases that are a bit more cost sensitive.

Their cache is likely an entirely different per-PoP service that operates as a network service.
