Managed Nginx Caching Service

The Nginx Caching Service is designed to optimize web traffic and enhance web application performance. This service combines custom-built Nginx instances with HAproxy for efficient caching and load balancing.

Deployment infromation

The Nginx instances include the following modules and features:

  • VTS module for statistics
  • Integration with ip2location
  • Integration with ip2proxy
  • Support for 51Degrees
  • Cache purge functionality

HAproxy plays a vital role in this setup by directing incoming traffic to specific Nginx instances based on a consistent hash calculated from the URL. Each Nginx instance includes a Persistent Volume Claim (PVC) for storing cached content, ensuring fast and reliable access to frequently used resources.

Deployment Details

The deployment architecture is illustrated in the diagram below:
