Dear Magento Community!

📣 Let's make uncached TTFB as fast as possible, so Varnish is just a cherry on top to scale it, rather than a crutch that's used to hide poor performance. 📣

Over the years, I have seen the same issues recurring in projects I am hired to fix, so I have built a different set of customizations for various project setups that I apply to reduce the TTFB of catalog pages to under 400 ms on average, while majority of Magento installs have un-cached TTFB of at least 2 seconds.

Your contribution would allow me to bring this to the community at large and make the following goals possible:

• Reduce the usage of Redis cache by moving expensive file lookups into build-time:
  • Remove all XML files cache by merging it during build-time, and make it opcache-friendly
  • Remove layout cache by using compiled layout handles
  • Build blazingly fast DI container with new PHP 8.4 features
• Implement a Blazingly Fast Indexation framework with alternative indexer implementations that will cut indexation time from hours to seconds on large datasets
• Implement Blazingly Fast Catalog Batch Processing that will allow implementing almost real-time third-party integrations (PIM, ERP, etc)

When you become a sponsor, each tier will unlock a different set of perks, which range from quarterly online workshops and sponsor discord chat to commercial licenses for various sets of performance optimization customizations you can use in your projects.
