The image illustrates the architecture of an HTTP caching system with the following main components:
- Client Side (Left):
- Web App client
- FAST GET requests through PROXY
- Uses If-Modified-Since and Cache-Control headers
- Central Infrastructure:
- GSLB (Global Server Load Balancer)
- CDN Service (Content Delivery Network)
- Edge servers (distributed cache servers)
- Server Side (Right):
- Web Service server
- FAST RETURN through REVERSE PROXY
- Uses Last-Modified and Cache-Control headers
- Supports Load Optimization
- Origin server connection
- Cache Control Options:
- max-age
- no-cache
- no-store
- must-revalidate
- public
- private
- s-maxage
This architecture represents an enterprise-grade caching system designed to optimize web performance and reduce server load. The system utilizes multiple layers of caching with CDN to deliver content to end users more quickly and efficiently.
Traffic flow starts from the client, passes through multiple caching layers, and can ultimately reach the origin server, with appropriate caching strategies applied at each layer.
This structure enables:
- Improved response times
- Reduced server load
- Efficient content delivery
- Better user experience
- Scalable infrastructure
The combination of proxies, CDN, and various caching mechanisms creates a robust system for handling web content delivery at scale.
