High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Apache Traffic Server (TS) is a modular, high-performance reverse proxy and forward proxy server, generally comparable to Nginx and Squid. It was created by Inktomi, and distributed as a commercial product called the Inktomi Traffic Server, before Inktomi was acquired by Yahoo!. Yahoo!`s OStatic guest post Yahoo`s Cloud Team Open Sources Traffic Server states that Yahoo! uses TS in production to serve more than 30 Billion objects per day on sites like the Yahoo! homepage, and Yahoo! Sports, Mail, and Finance . Yahoo! released the TS source to Apache as an Apache Incubator project in July 2009 . On April 21, 2010, the Apache board accepted Traffic Server as a TLP, graduating the project out of incubation. TS is now in version 3.0.1, with a 3.1.0 developers release available for testing new features in the 3.x branch.
