Relational to Big Graph
Relational databases power most applications, but new use-cases have requirements that they are not well suited for.
That's why new approaches like graph databases are used to handle join-heavy, highly-connected and realtime aspects of your applications.
This talk compares relational and graph databases, show similarities and important differences.
We do a hands-on, deep-dive into ease of data modeling and structural evolution, massive data import and high performance querying with Neo4j, the most popular graph database.
I demonstrate a useful tool which makes data import from existing relational databases with a non-denormalized ER-model a "one click"-experience.
Which leaves biggest challenge for people coming from a relational background is to adapt some of their existing database experience to new ways of thinking.

Akamai connector for varnish
This document discusses using the Akamai Connector for Varnish to simplify operations between a Varnish cache and Akamai's edge caching network. It highlights common challenges with duplicating caching logic and managing lifecycle changes. The connector architecture allows caching policies to be defined in VCL and automatically propagated to Akamai. An example demo purges a file from both Varnish and Akamai caches. Attendees are encouraged to join the early access program to try the integration.
Varnish High Availability
Varnish is a proxy server that can be configured for high availability (HA) to increase its availability, cache capacity, and reduce backend load. Varnish Plus is a small external daemon that provides HA by replicating the cache across multiple Varnish servers. It uses an asynchronous replication method with a simple architecture and easy configuration. A demo showed that combining replication with sharding increased availability to 3x and cache capacity to 4x while keeping the backend load at 1x.
PostNord: Copy On Write
This document discusses using a copy-on-write cache accelerator pattern and Varnish cache to optimize a microservice that allows customers to specify a favorite delivery location. Implementing a persistent cache with Varnish Cache Plus and transaction logging would make the solution robust and scalable by handling cache updates asynchronously and repopulating the cache if needed. This caching approach is well-suited for services with an expected low cache hit rate and improves performance by consuming fewer resources than directly calling the microservice.
Varnish extend
This document discusses Varnish Extend, which provides tools and services to flexibly deploy Varnish caching and other content delivery technologies. It can be used to build hybrid CDNs, leverage existing data centers for delivery, or create a fully custom DIY CDN. The key components are Varnish Plus for caching, Cedexis Radar for intelligent routing, and Cedexis Purge for unified purging across delivery architectures. An example implementation is shown with Varnish deployed at edge POPs and an origin server, using Varnish High Availability (VHA) for replication between nodes. Configuration details are provided for VCS statistics, Cedexis Radar and Openmix load balancing, and VHA. The document demonstrates how V
Streaming with Varnish
Streaming media over HTTP has become widespread due to its efficiency and ability to cache content globally using CDNs. This allows media to be streamed far and wide without buffering issues. While early solutions like Move Networks and Apple HLS paved the way starting in 2008, technologies like Microsoft Smooth Streaming, Netflix's own solution, Adobe HDS, and MPEG-DASH soon followed to make adaptive streaming over HTTP the dominant approach.
Edgestash
This document introduces Edgestash, a templating system that uses JSON data and EdgeSide Includes (ESI) to render templates on the edge cache. It discusses how Edgestash works using Varnish Cache to parse responses, index JSON, and execute templates. The document outlines the benefits of Edgestash like faster load times and less CPU usage. It also covers the syntax used in Edgestash templates and example Varnish Configuration Language code.
What is new in varnish plus
- The document appears to be a presentation about intelligent TCP acceleration and parallel ESI features in Varnish software.
- It discusses Varnish Plus for intelligent TCP acceleration across edge nodes to optimize content delivery.
- It also describes a new parallel ESI feature that allows Varnish to process multiple ESI includes at once for better performance compared to processing them one at a time.
- There is a Q&A section at the end to discuss these topics further.
Varnish Extend demo
This document summarizes a presentation about Varnish Extend and its components. Varnish Extend allows for multi-CDN, hybrid CDN, and DIY CDN configurations using Varnish Plus and Cedexis. Cedexis provides real-user monitoring, programmable load balancing, and purging capabilities. The demo architecture shows how Varnish Plus can be deployed on the edge and shield tiers for caching and load balancing traffic to origin servers.
Varnish extend introduction
Varnish Extend is a bundled software and services solution that allows users to build a content delivery network (CDN) in four hours. It uses Varnish Plus for intelligent caching, Cedexis for global load balancing and purging, and can direct global traffic to servers optimally. The solution aims to remove the need for an "all or nothing" CDN strategy by strengthening origin servers and adding secondary datacenters. It leverages CDNs only when primary servers cannot optimally serve traffic. The components used include Varnish Cache Plus, Varnish High Availability (VHA), and Cedexis Openmix for global load balancing.
Cedexis introduction
This document summarizes the services provided by Cedexis to deliver optimized user experiences on the web, mobile and video. Cedexis gathers real-time performance data from over 500 million user sessions across networks globally to monitor over 125 CDNs and cloud providers. It uses this community-based data to detect outages and issues in real-time. Cedexis then provides intelligent routing of users to the best performing platforms based on customized business criteria to ensure high availability, performance and cost efficiency across devices and locations. Major global brands trust Cedexis to optimize the delivery of their digital experiences.
Secure content caching
- Modern caching allows for security by using VCL (Varnish Configuration Language) for advanced caching logic and client identification.
- Client identification involves classifying clients based on information like cookies, local storage, or encryption/hashes of values. This allows origin servers to dynamically vary responses based on the identified client.
- Content access control lists (ACLs) can be applied to cached responses based on the identified client information, and client invalidation involves expiring client identification tokens or invalidating cached responses based on session identifiers.
Microservices
This document discusses using microservices with Varnish caching for improved performance and scalability. It describes moving from a monolithic Java application to many small, stateless services with Varnish caching all data. Key-value caching is implemented using X-Key to invalidate cache dynamically based on HTTP headers. This allows related cached objects to be automatically invalidated on a cache purge. The architecture has proven effective over 10 years in production by reducing complexity, improving debugging and scaling through statelessness and caching with Varnish and X-Key.
Varnishtest
This document summarizes David Porter's talk about leveraging the power of Varnish Configuration Language (VCL) and Varnishtest. It outlines how the company improved their practices around traffic routing, caching, and testing of VCL configurations by adopting automation tools like Puppet and Jenkins for configuration management and continuous integration, using Docker for testing environments, and implementing a software development life cycle with peer review and version control for VCL files. This allowed them to move from a problematic, manual process to one where configurations are more robust, standardized across environments, and collaboratively developed and tested.
Lightning fast with Varnish
The document provides an overview of using Varnish to accelerate web applications. Some key points:
- Varnish works by caching responses from backend servers in memory for future requests, reducing load on backends. It respects HTTP caching best practices like expiration, conditional requests, and cache variations.
- Configuration is done through Varnish Configuration Language (VCL) scripts which control caching behavior. Common tasks covered include setting cache rules, purging content, and normalizing requests.
- Techniques discussed include caching only safe requests, stripping cookies, blacklisting/whitelisting URLs, and using Edge Side Includes (ESI) to break pages into cacheable components. Guidelines are provided for optimizing caching of dynamic content.
E-commerce use case
Sheego originally built their e-commerce site on Intershop but moved to the OXID framework, which does not have built-in caching like Intershop. In 2014, Sheego started using open-source Varnish caching to improve site performance and in 2015 upgraded to Varnish Plus for professional support, monitoring tools, and high availability capabilities. This has led to advanced caching, less staff time needed for monitoring and support, and improved availability of content for their customers.
Access control
This document discusses different access control methods for purging content in Varnish, including IP-based access control, basic authentication, and cookie-based access control. It argues that cookie-based access control provides the optimal solution, describing how to generate and authenticate random cookies signed with a secret key to control access. The document then outlines how this approach is used to build a "Varnish auth tool kit" or "VARNISH PAYWALL" system for metered or subscription-based access control of content.
Varnish TLS
Hitch TLS is a small and fast TLS terminator that is bundled with Varnish Plus. It allows client-side TLS termination with Varnish Cache Plus handling encryption and decryption. TLS can also be used to encrypt connections to backends by adding ".ssl = 1" to backend definitions in Varnish. Hitch TLS supports features like OCSP stapling, PROXY protocol, and run-time reloads for updating certificates without interrupting service. Performance testing shows it can handle high throughput workloads with good scalability on commodity hardware.
MSE
This document summarizes the Massive Storage Engine 2.0, which was built to address scaling issues with file- and memory-based backends in handling workloads with gigabytes of content. It features allocation that is fragmentation-proof and can scale to over 100 terabytes, with an LFU eviction approach. The architecture uses threads for reliable allocation across multiple segments with reduced locking. It also supports an optional persistent datastore by mirroring metadata to disk in an asynchronous manner with minimal impact to performance. Evaluation showed it handles larger files well and recovers quickly from crashes by reading the stored book of metadata.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.
