Traffic Server suits organizations such as enterprises, internet service providers, backbone providers, and large intranets that need a caching proxy or reverse proxy. Its plugin APIs may also suit teams that need custom HTTP or cache behavior.
Ehcache suits Java application teams looking to cache application data, database results, or web pages. It may fit projects needing off-heap storage, clustered cache sharing, or JCache compatibility.
