Varnish to the rescue Leszek Krupiński
@leafnode PHPers Manual Consultant Architect
intro
web 1. User 2. Browser 3. Server
user is impatient
fast!
100ms
1s = -11% Page Views -16% User Satisfaction -7% Conversion
1-5s ! 32% consumers lost
(2012) average: 2.45s
Optimize application
• Frameworks • Limits • Time-consuming operations • Cost
Maybe it’s not needed?
Cache!
Many levels, many solutions
But… my site is very dynamic!
1s TTL
From 20 rq/s to 1 rq/s in single apt-get install
Fresh content takes most hits
Varnish The Web Accelerator
None
None
None
Architecture
Works with the kernel not against it
mmap, threads, epoll, kqueue
Backends: memory, file
If it fits in memory, use memory
Works on HTTP headers
Cache-control, If-Modified-Since, Expires, Pragma, If-None-Match, Etag, Vary, Age
Varnish uses language both browser and backend know
In-memory logs
75 000 rq/s at TMECC 143 000 rq/s at Redpill-Linpro
Do I need a lot of memory?
Nope
Fresh content takes most hits
Take that, slashdot effect!
Configuration

Unfortunately, lots of possibilities
