1. CACHING THE UNCACHEABLE BY THIJS FERYN WITH VARNISH
2. Slow websites SUCK
3. WEB PERFORMANCE IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE USER EXPERIENCE
4. SLOW ~ DOWN
8. THROWING SERVERS AT THE PROBLEM
9. MO' MONEY MO' SERVERS MO' PROBLEMS
10. IDENTIFY SLOWEST PARTS
11. OPTIMIZE
12. AFTER A WHILE YOU HIT THE LIMITS
13. CACHE
14. HI, I'M THIJS
15. I'M AN EVANGELIST AT
18. 4,800,000 WEBSITES 19% OF THE TOP 10K WEBSITES
20. I'M @THIJSFERYN
23. NORMALLY USER SERVER
24. WITH REVERSE CACHING PROXY USER PROXY SERVER
27. CONTROLLING THE CACHE WITH HTTP Expires: Sat, 09 Sep 2017 14:30:00 GMT Cache-control: public, max-age=3600, s-maxage=86400 Cache-control: private, no-cache, no-store Vary: Accept-Language
28. STATE
29. STATE ~ USER SPECIFIC DATA COOKIES AUTH HEADERS
30. FOR YOUR EYES ONLY NOT CACHED
31. VARNISH CONFIGURATION LANGUAGE
32. vcl 4.1; sub vcl_recv { if (req.http.Cookie) { set req.http.Cookie = ";" + req.http.Cookie; set req.http.Cookie = regsuball(req.http.Cookie, "; +", ";"); set req.http.Cookie = regsuball(req.http.Cookie, ";(SESS[a-z0-9]+|SSESS[a-z0-9]+|NO_CACHE)=", "; \1="); set req.http.Cookie = regsuball(req.http.Cookie, ";[^ ][^;]*", ""); set req.http.Cookie = regsuball(req.http.Cookie, "^[; ]+|[; ]+$", ""); if (req.http.Cookie == "") { unset req.http.Cookie; } else { return (pass); } } } Only keep certain cookies
33. sub vcl_recv { if (req.http.Cookie) { set req.http.Cookie = ";" + req.http.Cookie; set req.http.Cookie = regsuball(req.http.Cookie, "; +", ";"); set req.http.Cookie = regsuball(req.http.Cookie, ";(language)=", "; \1="); set req.http.Cookie = regsuball(req.http.Cookie, ";[^ ][^;]*", ""); set req.http.Cookie = regsuball(req.http.Cookie, "^[; ]+|[; ]+$", ""); if (req.http.cookie ~ "^\s*$") { unset req.http.cookie; return(pass); } return(hash); } } sub vcl_hash { hash_data(regsub( req.http.Cookie, "^.*language=([^;]*);*.*$", "\1" )); } Cookie cache variation
34. vcl 4.1; import cookieplus; sub vcl_recv { cookieplus.keep("language"); cookieplus.write(); } sub vcl_hash { hash_data(cookieplus.get("language")); } VMOD_COOKIE
35. CONTAINS USER INFORMATION
36. NO CACHE
37. PLACEHOLDERS
38. SEPARATE HTTP REQUEST
39. AJAX
40. ✓CLIENT-SIDE ✓COMMON KNOWLEDGE ✓PARALLEL PROCESSING ✓GRACEFUL DEGRADATION -PROCESSED BY THE BROWSER -EXTRA ROUNDTRIPS -SOMEWHAT SLOWER AJAX
41. EDGE-SIDE INCLUDES ESI
42. <esi:include src="/header" />
43. ESI ✓ PLACEHOLDER ✓ PARSED BY VARNISH ✓ OUTPUT IS A COMPOSITION OF BLOCKS ✓ STATE PER BLOCK ✓ TTL PER BLOCK
44. sub vcl_recv { set req.http.Surrogate-Capability = "key=ESI/1.0"; } sub vcl_backend_response { if (beresp.http.Surrogate-Control ~ "ESI/1.0") { unset beresp.http.Surrogate-Control; set beresp.do_esi = true; } }
45. ✓SERVER-SIDE ✓STANDARDIZED ✓PROCESSED ON THE “EDGE”, NOT IN THE BROWSER ✓GENERALLY FASTER -SEQUENTIAL* -ONE FAILS, ALL FAIL -LIMITED IMPLEMENTATION IN VARNISH -NOT THAT COMMON ESI PARALLEL IN ENTERPRISE
46. NON-CACHEABLE ROUTES WILL STILL BE A TARGET FOR LOAD/LATENCY
47. NOT JUST A CACHE NOT JUST "TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT"
48. AN HTTP LOGIC BOX
49. DECISION MAKING AT THE EDGE
50. vcl 4.1; import cookieplus; import redis; import synthbackend; sub vcl_init { new db = redis.db( location="redis:6379", type=master, connection_timeout=500, shared_connections=false, max_connections=1); } sub vcl_recv { set req.http.X-Login = "false"; set req.http.x-session = cookieplus.get("PHPSESSID","guest"); if(req.http.x-session != "guest") { db.command("EXISTS"); db.push("sf_s"+cookieplus.get("PHPSESSID")); db.execute(); if(db.get_integer_reply() == 1) { set req.http.X-Login = "true"; } } } SYNTHETIC HTTP

52. USER GET /session Cookie: PHPSESSID=7er3hjKal8u235c87u6ih0vz8Y HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Length: 31 Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8 X-Varnish: 163854 196622 Age: 27 {"username":"thijs"} VARNISH
53. WHAT DO YOU DO WITH IT? ✓ AJAX CALL ✓ LOAD VIA ESI AND PROCESS VIA LOCAL JAVASCRIPT ✓ EDGESTASH
54. {{ EDGESTASH }} VARNISH MODULE FOR MUSTACHE PROCESSING ON THE EDGE

56. EDGESTASH {"username":"Thijs"} <div>{{ username }}</div> <div>Thijs</div>
57. MORE FLEXIBILITY
