Not anywhere close. Your cache invalidation takes forever. Ability to assign tag objects does not exist. Engaging "professional services" to make a config change like it is 2002?

Akamai also has a fast purge these days, sub 5 seconds as well I believe. Works nicely.

Fast purge only works on certain kind of objects in certain kind of configurations, not to mention the idea of "I would like tom make 20k purge requests in a second via an API" is met with stares.

Fastpurge is a hack.

Interesting. I only have experience with the occasional simple (manual) purge and I could verify the object was invalidated quickly. Can you elaborate on an example config where this goes awry?
