tabacco Posted April 29, 2013 Sorry for the minute or two of unplanned downtime there. I've made some large-ish changes to the http stack for the site. It should be totally transparent, but please let me know if you're seeing any weirdness, especially in the forums. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tabacco Posted April 29, 2013 Just fixed an issue that was making the 'Online Users' section of the forum show up weirdly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toblix Posted April 29, 2013 Thanks for keeping the wheels turning! Also feel free to go into more technical detail; I'm always interested in hearing behind-the-scenes stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tabacco Posted April 29, 2013 Heh... we've always run nginx. The change was adding Varnish in front of it to handle caching. There are some rules in vcl_recv to return(pass) for the forums, and a few other things that require user auth or shouldn't be cached. Phase 2 is checking for ip.board's cookies so that it can be cached for logged-out users, but I didn't have time for that yesterday. Phase 3 is ESI, so parts of the homepage can be cached with a different TTL than others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No need to come up with these bullshit excuses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toblix Posted April 29, 2013 I head Varnish is super-fast and super-easy to set up. Can you confirm these allegations? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tabacco Posted May 18, 2013 More updates, this time to the framework that everything except the forums runs on. Let me know if anything seems to be not working. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
