We are currently using nginx/1.7.10 @Ubuntu12.04 for serving high load
webapp with about 12-15k QPS mostly tiny requests / HTTP/1.1 keep-alive
mode. Nginx is used as proxy for http backends. From time to time we
are noticing traffic gaps and during this time nginx answers very slowly
(up to 20-25s) across all virtual hosts. There are no any error
messages in general error log and also server has much of resources
available. The nature of service is that http backends have very low
read/connect proxy timeout value (40ms) and nginx should be able to send
static file during error interception, those timeout happen very often
(2-3k during a second) But unfortunately we cant make it stable enough
to provide fast static answer during backend slowness periods since it
hangs and answers very slow
