In the BBC’s testing, they found that with NGINX as a drop-in replacement for Varnish, they saw five times more throughput.
- phkamp 10y agoI don't suppose that particular workload was very suited for Varnish in the first place, if you read carefully, you'll soon realize that most people don't have that kind of content. I have heard from (other parts of) BBC that Varnish saved a fair amount of bacon for them during the London Olympics, obviously in different workloads. And nobody would be more surprised than me, if Varnish was a micacle-cure for every single website in the world...
- cheald 10y agonginx as a cache is very minimal-featured compared to Varnish. If it fits your workload, great. If not, Varnish is an exceptional tool.
- olavgg 10y agoPHK explained the cause of this is that the Linux kernel VM system performs poorly when overcomitted. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10752209 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10752209 So the conclusion is, as long your malloc fits in your system memory, Varnish should be blazing fast on Linux. If you need a gigantic cache, please try FreeBSD.
