Varnish: How we do it SF Varnish Meetup June 1st
2015 Matt Robenolt
Hello < me irl
Lead Operations Engineer
First Generation edge (haproxy) shield app (python) Failover
Why this sucked
Duplicate routing logic Complex Caching logic WasteD RAM for failover
Why this sucked
Failover == lose all cache Varnish held cache rules Hard
to add/remove backends Why this sucked
Current Generation edge shield app (python)
Why this is rad
App owns all caching logic Unified request routing Utilize RAM
from all nodes Why this is rad
If-Modified-Since Vary on cookie values Less deploys to Varnish Why
this is rad
60,000 15,000 13,000 Caching funnel edge shield app
edge shield app Onion skin view
edge shield app recv pass fetch hit miss hash synth
fetch deliver error Onion skin view
edge 60,000 req/s
edge Closest to users (geographically) Absorbs most traffic Blocks abuse
60,000 req/s
edge Makes decisions for shield Sort querystrings (boltsort/std) Promote cookies
to headers 60,000 req/s
Cookies. as headers? Why?
Vary: Cookie-sessionid
shield 15,000 req/s
shield Routing to app backends Serve stale content (grace) Do
If-modified-Since 15,000 req/s
shield Parse response cache rules Backend healthchecks Store lots of
content 15,000 req/s
application 13,000 req/s
application Declare response cache rules Respond to If-modified-Since 13,000 req/s
WaiT. 13,000 req/s still?
46% 53% 1% App Response Codes
46% 53% 1% App Response Codes 304 200
miss Hit Hit/update If-Modified-Since Hit/IMS 200 OK 200 OK 304
Not Modified v1 v2
tl;dr 60k req -> 7k at app Every request thru
Varinsh Complex logic written once
tl;dr App has complete control We still <3 haproxy Each
layer worth deep dive
We’re hiring people who hate comptuers. disqus.com/jobs
