Full-page caching on infrastructure you control
A Redis-backed caching reverse proxy in Go.
A reverse proxy with full-page caching in Redis, covering the operational cases that separate a working cache from a demonstration: stampede prevention, stale content served for up to ten seconds to absorb a thundering herd, a circuit breaker that bypasses Redis when Redis is unavailable, and full HTTP cache-header semantics. Load balancing, ACME, HTTP/2, tracing and Prometheus come with it.
What is in it
- The problem — what goes unanswered without it, and who notices first.
- Why the obvious alternative falls short — stated plainly, including where it is the better choice.
- How it works — the method, not a feature list.
- Concrete use cases — with console output quoted from the repository, never reconstructed.
- The methodology behind any number it emits — every term shown, so the figure survives a question.
- What it deliberately does not do — the section most papers leave out.
