Easegress supports compression and caching in Pipeline and HTTPServer for performance improvement as a reverse proxy.

- Easegress proxy filter supports
gzip
type compression. It can save the bandwidth between the client and Easegress and reduce the time cost.
name: pipeline-reverse-proxy
kind: Pipeline
flow:
- filter: proxy
filters:
- name: proxy
kind: Proxy
#...
compression:
minLength: 1024
#...
-
As the example above, we only need to value the
minLength
field to tell Easegress' proxy filter compressing response body whose size is bigger thanminLength
. Also, it will add thegzip
header automatically if it's truly compressed. -

- Easegress proxy filter has a
pool
section for describing the traffic forwarding backends. And it also supports caching the response according to the HTTP Methods and the HTTP response code. Recommend enabling this feature only in the routing static resources scenario.

#...
memoryCache:
expiration: 10s
maxEntryBytes: 4096
codes:
- 200
- 201
methods:
- GET
- HEAD
#...
-
The example above will cache the response which size is smaller than 4096, and the response code is 200 or 201, with the HTTP methods Get and Head.

- As a traffic gate of Easegress, HTTPServer also supports caching routing rules. It reduces the HTTPServer route searching cost. HTTPServer will use the request's Host, Method, and Path to form a key for the build-in LRU rule cache.
kind: HTTPServer
name: http-server-example
port: 10080
https: false
#...
cacheSize: 10240
#...
-
As the example above, all we need is to set the
cacheSize
to indicated the LRU cache's size. It will disuse the least used cache rules firstly. -
