long story short
The rapid growth and diversification of Mozilla's product portfolio required a substantial increase in testing and the number of test platforms used. This surge in demand strained the company's network, leading to significant spikes in both traffic and associated costs due to the repetitive downloads required from a central server.
To address this challenge, the Rebbix team designed and implemented a custom caching proxy server solution. These servers efficiently retrieved builds from the central server, stored them locally, and made them readily available for download whenever required. This new setup was cost-effective and user-friendly, offering faster downloads. Additionally, it reduced cross-datacenter bandwidth usage by 50%. What’s more, it allowed Mozilla engineers to focus on feature development and bug fixes instead of dealing with network congestion.
