Cache

Use cache when Fluxheim sits in front of an origin and repeated responses should be served faster.

Proxy cache example

[cache]
enabled = true
default_ttl_secs = 300
max_object_bytes = "32MiB"
status_header = "X-Cache-Status"

[cache.memory]
enabled = true
max_size_bytes = "256MiB"

[cache.disk]
enabled = true
path = "/var/cache/fluxheim/site"
max_size_bytes = "10GiB"

Cache backends

BackendNutze es, wenn
memoryYou need the fastest cache and can keep objects in RAM.
diskYou need cache capacity that survives process restarts.
tieredDu Speicher fur heisse Objekte und Disk fur grossere Kapazitat willst.
storage-binDu hohe Anderungsrate erwartest und begrenzte Disk-Allokation willst.
encrypted diskYou need cache-at-rest protection for disk objects.

Route cache policy

[[vhosts.routes]]
name = "assets"
path_prefix = "/assets/"
action = "proxy"

[vhosts.routes.proxy]
upstreams = ["127.0.0.1:3000"]

[vhosts.routes.cache]
enabled = true
status_ttls = { "200" = 3600, "404" = 60 }
content_types = ["text/css", "application/javascript", "image/*"]
extensions = ["css", "js", "png", "webp", "svg"]
include_query = false
stale_while_revalidate_secs = 30
stale_if_error_secs = 120

Advanced cache controls

SteuerungZweck
lockCollapse concurrent misses so one request fills the cache.
range.sliceCache fixed byte slices for large files and resumable downloads.
peer_fillLasse eine Edge von einer anderen Edge fullen, bevor der Origin genutzt wird.
origin_protectionBegrenze gleichzeitige Origin-Fills bei hohem Druck.
cache_purgerEntferne stale Disk-Eintrage in begrenzten Batches.

Use cache carefully

  • Do not cache private user pages unless the route is explicitly safe.
  • Keep cache keys bounded and predictable.
  • Nutze Purge oder kurze TTLs, wenn sich Inhalte häufig ändern.
  • Bypasse bei Cookies, Autorisierung, Preview-Headern und unsicheren Query-Strings.
