About the Author

Roberto Moutinho is a system analyst, DevOps evangelist, and a open source and open standards advocate currently residing in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Passionate about the Web, he's currently a web developer working in one of the largest classified platform in Latin America, optimizing overall performance of in-house and third-party services. When off duty, you'll often find him taking apart old electronics to salvage components for weird and often useless DIY projects.

The success of this project depends largely on the encouragement and guidelines of my sister Renata Moutinho. I can't thank her enough for her tremendous support and help. I'd also like to thank my family, especially my father Jose Jorge J. Moutinho and my mother Sonia M. Monteiro Moutinho, for their constant support and help, all my friends and coworkers for their ideas and feedback during the writing process of this book, and the guidance and support received from all members of Packt Publishing.

In his spare time, he is a training instructor for the Federal Technology Center (CEFET-RJ) and an Arduino enthusiast.

First, I would like to thank to Roberto Moutinho who gave me the opportunity to collaborate in this project.

Preface

Welcome to Instant Varnish Cache How-to .

Varnish Cache is an HTTP accelerator that stands between your customers and your application servers, acting as a front-end caching solution to your website. Varnish Cache is not a complete solution and will not serve your application content on its own; instead, it will proxy customers' requests to your web server and store their responses for later usage, avoiding an unnecessary (duplicated) workload.

Putting your website behind a Varnish Cache is quick and easy. In this book, you will learn how to make the most out of your infrastructure with minimal effort.

This book is the result of a year of collected information about scalability issues and caching in general, which led to the deployment of Varnish Cache on one of the major e-commerce/marketplace in Latin America.

What this book covers

Installing Varnish Cache (Must know) , introduces you to how to install Varnish Cache using its own official repository and make sure everything is set before we start configuring our Varnish daemon.

Varnish Cache server daemon options (Must know) , explains all the daemon options which make your Varnish Cache server act as expected, and adjust memory and CPU usage.

Connecting to backend servers (Should know) , defines from which backend servers Varnish will fetch the data and also create mechanisms to make sure that Varnish does not proxy a request to any offline backend.

Load balance requests (Should know) , explores all the possibilities of load balancing requests through application servers and creating a dedicated pool of servers to critical parts of your application system.

The Varnish Configuration Language (Should know) , will get you started on writing VCL code to manage all your caching policies and manipulate requests and responses.

Handling HTTP request vcl_recv (Should know) , explains how to choose backend servers according to what was requested by the client, block restricted content, and avoid cache lookup when it should not be performed.

Handling HTTP request vcl_hash (Should know) , explains how Varnish generates the hash used to store the objects in memory and how to customize it to save memory space.

Handling HTTP request vcl_pipe and vcl_pass (Should know) , introduces how to handle requests that should not be cached, making the data flow directly to the client.
