Hey all, I've been scheming for a while on how to reduce the number of calls up to the server for CentralNotice. At the same time I want to greatly reduce the number of objects I have in cache.
To do this I propose to change the architecture to having an intermediate proxy server with a static head JS section in mediawiki page head. The proxy would map down all the variables to only what is required at the time. Right now I am imagining 4 servers, 2 in eqiad and 2 in ams, that would host a node.js proxy and/or possibly a local varnish instance. The more detailed architecture is sketched out here: https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Extension:CentralNotice/Caching_Overhaul_-_Frontend_Proxy I would appreciate any comments. ~Matt Walker Wikimedia Foundation Fundraising Technology Team _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
