Railgun Gives our Ecommerce Sites the Edge

This post introduces Railgun, a technology that uses delta compression to reduce outbound bandwidth from origin servers to Cloudflare data centers. It demonstrates significant reductions in outbound bandwidth consumption (from a 5x-10x inbound:outbound ratio to 1:1 during peak traffic) and improvements in HTML document retrieval times (up to 2x from London). The post highlights Railgun's effectiveness for e-commerce sites with similar URIs and its international expansion benefits.
