| Fact | Ehcache | Varnish Enterprise |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Ehcache is an open-source, standards-based Java cache that boosts performance, offloads databases, and simplifies scalability. | Varnish Enterprise is a programmable delivery layer for live video, dynamic web and API traffic, and CI/CD artifact delivery. |
| Storage | Ehcache 3 supports off-heap storage, including caches that use only off-heap storage. | Its Massive Storage Engine supports multi-terabyte datasets across memory and disk. |
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.
It suits platform and infrastructure teams delivering high-traffic websites, APIs, media, or software artifacts. It is relevant when edge logic, persistent caching, and multiple deployment options are required.
