| Fact | Ehcache | Varnish Cache |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Ehcache is an open-source, standards-based Java cache that boosts performance, offloads databases, and simplifies scalability. | Varnish Cache is a reverse caching proxy that serves cached responses from memory and proxies other requests to origin servers. |
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.
Varnish Cache suits Linux users who want to host a reverse caching proxy themselves and configure caching behavior in VCL. It may fit teams that need container or Kubernetes deployment options and operational logs and metrics.
