At the end of the meeting, we recommended people watch from 33:50 to the end of "part 2" (at 1:18:33) of "Caching and performance deep dive 2.0 - A practical workshop" from DrupalCon Europe 2020. For the next few weeks we will be watching the subsequent parts. Slides for this talk are available, and there is an accompanying GitHub repo.
