Varnish is an HTTP accelerator. An HTTP accelerator (often called Reverse Proxy)
|
|
is an application that stores (caches) documents that have been requested over
|
|
the HTTP protocol.
|
|
Based on certain criteria the next client requesting the document is either
|
|
given the cached document, or a "fresh" document requested from a backend
|
|
server. The purpose of this is to minimize the requests going to the backend
|
|
server(s) by serving the same document to potentially many users.
|
|
|
|
The goal of Varnish is to be a very fast, stable and effective light-weight HTTP
|
|
accelerator daemon, by using modern and effective technologies. Ease of
|
|
managment and good documentation is also a main goal of the project since the
|
|
lack of either one will render Varnish useless.
