This module is a rework of the Acquia purge module to be usable on every environment. So the initial code should be credited to nielsvm

FAQ
Do you have a vcl we can use?
The module is packaged with an example VCL for Drupal 8 and this module. Be sure to change it to your needs and particular situation. Nothing is stopping you from using this module and our vcl. Don't want to have all this hassle? You're also welcome on our platform with your site... :)
Why didn't we use the varnish module?
This module is built to be used on top of the purge module to benefit from extra functionalities similar to the Acquia Purge module. It’s tailor-made to get the best performance out of the Dropsolid Platform but feel free to use the sample vcl and figure out how to make it work for you.
Why is it called Dropsolid Purge?
Since we wanted to make it fully compatible with the Dropsolid Platform we decided to go for a similar route as the other purge implementations. As said above, we can collaborate to make a common base and perhaps extend the varnish module or create a special submodule. However, we need to make sure that we can keep it simple, and to make sure that the commands sent are compatible with the VCL's on our platform.
