Boss: we have to cache everything.
Me: but some parts of the page are dynamic, we can not cache them
Boss: EVERYTHING!!!!

Few days later...

Boss: This part of the page displays the wring content!
---------------------------

Well duh. If content changes with every request caching is probably not a good idea...

    I think you or the team that implemented the cache is in the wrong here. Your boss is just a boss wanting something. You are the experts in what you do so should have not added the caching for dynamic pages.

    Of course you can cache everything. The trick is in constantly invalidating the dynamic pages 😉

    @Linux how is that helping? @itd24 said he can't cache because content is dynamic

    You mean varnish? You can cache it if you write a correct vcl
