Part 2: Rethinking cache purge with a new architecture

What's this blog post about?

In this blog post, Cloudflare discusses their work on improving their coreless cache purge system for their edge network. The new system includes an entrypoint worker that handles authentication and validation of requests from users and then dispatches them to the appropriate data center(s). They also describe a new distribution system using Durable Objects which helps reduce latency and improve throughput in processing these requests. Additionally, they mention their ongoing work on making flexible cache purge fully coreless as well. Reference(s): - [Cloudflare](https://blog.cloudflare.com/coreless-cache-purges-part-2/)
