Where I've been ... Team Foundation Source Control Proxy

  • Artigo

While I still work for the MBF (Microsoft Business Framework) team I've been "on loan" for a while helping to develop a source control proxy server for the Team Foundation source control system. 

Basically the proxy server reduces data transfer times (and application/data tier server load) on slow connections by creating a cache of items that is closer (i.e. faster) to the client connection. 

This is all especially important to me.  I work out of the Fargo, ND office but the source code servers I interact with are in Redmond, WA.  Having a proxy server caching content between here and there has shown significant improvements in data transfer times (10-30x) which has improved my productivity (and the productivity of everyone I work with).

The proxy server is not available in the Beta 2 drop so you can’t use it yet but it is coming.

 

Any questions about it?
