It provides multiple load-balancing algorithms, TLS/SSL termination and certificate management, 
Lua scripting, a runtime API, hitless reloads, and built-in metrics for Prometheus.
Varnish Cache is an open-source HTTP accelerator and reverse caching proxy that caches content from web servers to reduce load times, and supports native TLS termination and 
Kubernetes deployments.

JSON logs, and supports VMOD extension modules.
