Souin HTTP cache

Project description

Souin is a new HTTP cache system suitable for every reverse-proxy. It can be either placed on top of your current reverse-proxy whether it's Apache, Nginx or as plugin in your favorite reverse-proxy like Træfik, Caddy or Tyk.
Since it's written in go, it can be deployed on any server and thanks to the docker integration, it will be easy to install on top of a Swarm, or a kubernetes instance.
It's RFC compatible, supporting Vary, request coalescing, stale cache-control and other specifications related to the RFC-7234.
It supports the newly written RFCs (currently in draft) http-cache-groups and http-invalidation.
It also supports the Cache-Status HTTP response header, the YKey group such as Varnish, the Targeted HTTP Cache Control RFC, .
It supports the ESI tags, thanks to the go-esi package.

[!WARNING] Since v1.7.0 Souin implements only one storage. If you need a specific storage you have to take it from the storages repository and add it either in your code, during the build otherwise.
(e.g. with otter using caddy) You have to build your caddy module with the desired storage xcaddy build --with github.com/darkweak/souin/plugins/caddy --with github.com/darkweak/storages/otter/caddy and configure otter in your Caddyfile/JSON configuration file.
See the storages section or the documentation website about the storages.

Configuration

The configuration file is store at /anywhere/configuration.yml. You can supply your own as long as you use one of the minimal configurations below.

Required configuration

Souin as plugin

default_cache: # Required
  ttl: 10s # Default TTL

Souin out-of-the-box

default_cache: # Required
  ttl: 10s # Default TTL
reverse_proxy_url: 'http://traefik' # If it's in the same network you can use http://your-service, otherwise just use https://yourdomain.com

Besides, it's highly recommended to set default_cache.default_cache_control (see it below) to avoid undesired caching for responses without Cache-Control header.

APIs

All endpoints are accessible through the api.basepath configuration line or by default through /souin-api to avoid named route conflicts. Be sure to define an unused route to not break your existing application.

Prometheus API

Prometheus API expose some metrics about the cache.
The base path for the prometheus API is /metrics. Not supported inside Træfik because the deny the unsafe library usage inside plugins

Souin API

Souin API allow users to manage the cache.
The base path for the souin API is /souin.
The Souin API supports the invalidation by surrogate keys such as Fastly which will replace the Varnish system. You can read the doc about this system. This system is able to invalidate by tags your cloud provider cache. Actually it supports Akamai and Fastly but in a near future some other providers would be implemented like Cloudflare or Varnish.

Security API

DEPRECATED
Security API allows users to protect other APIs with JWT authentication.
The base path for the security API is /authentication.

Diagrams

See the sequence diagram for the minimal version below

Cache systems

Supported providers

• Badger
• NutsDB
• Etcd
• Olric

The cache system sits on top of three providers at the moment. It provides two in-memory storage solutions (badger and nuts), and two distributed storages Olric and Etcd because setting, getting, updating and deleting keys in these providers is as easy as it gets.
The Badger provider (default one): you can tune its configuration using the badger configuration inside your Souin configuration. In order to do that, you have to declare the badger block. See the following json example.

"badger": {
  "configuration": {
    "ValueDir": "default",
    "ValueLogFileSize": 16777216,
    "MemTableSize": 4194304,
    "ValueThreshold": 524288,
    "BypassLockGuard": true
  }
}

The Nuts provider: you can tune its configuration using the nuts configuration inside your Souin configuration. In order to do that, you have to declare the nuts block. See the following json example.

"nuts": {
  "configuration": {
    "Dir": "default",
    "EntryIdxMode": 1,
    "RWMode": 0,
    "SegmentSize": 1024,
    "NodeNum": 42,
    "SyncEnable": true,
    "StartFileLoadingMode": 1
  }
}

The Otter provider: you can tune its configuration using the otter configuration inside your Souin configuration. In order to do that, you have to declare the otter block. See the following json example.

"otter": {
  "configuration": {
    "size": 9999999
  }
}

The Olric provider: you can tune its configuration using the olric configuration inside your Souin configuration and declare Souin has to use the distributed provider. In order to do that, you have to declare the olric block and the distributed directive. See the following json example.

"distributed": true,
"olric": {
  "configuration": {
    # Olric configuration here...
  }
}

In order to do that, the Olric provider need to be either on the same network as the Souin instance when using docker-compose or over the internet, then it will use by default in-memory to avoid network latency as much as possible.

The Etcd provider: you can tune its configuration using the etcd configuration inside your Souin configuration and declare Souin has to use the distributed provider. In order to do that, you have to declare the etcd block and the distributed directive. See the following json example.

"distributed": true,
"etcd": {
  "configuration": {
    # Etcd configuration here...
  }
}

In order to do that, the Etcd provider need to be either on the same network as the Souin instance when using docker-compose or over the internet, then it will use by default in-memory to avoid network latency as much as possible. Souin will return at first the response from the choosen provider when it gives a non-empty response, or fallback to the reverse proxy otherwise. Since v1.4.2, Souin supports Olric and since v1.6.10 it supports Etcd to handle distributed cache.

GraphQL

This feature is currently in beta.
Souin can partially cache your GraphQL requests. It automatically handles the data retrieval and omit the caching for the mutations.
However, it will invalidate whole cache keys with a body when you send a mutation request due to the inability to read and understand automatically which cached endpoint should be deleted.
You can enable the GraphQL support with the default_cache.allowed_http_verbs key to define the list of supported HTTP verbs like GET, POST, DELETE.

default_cache:
  allowed_http_verbs:
    - GET
    - POST
    - HEAD

Cache invalidation

The cache invalidation is built for CRUD requests, if you're doing a GET HTTP request, it will serve the cached response when it exists, otherwise the reverse-proxy response will be served.
If you're doing a POST, PUT, PATCH or DELETE HTTP request, the related cache GET request, and the list endpoint will be dropped.
It also supports invalidation via Souin API to invalidate the cache programmatically.

Plugins

Beego filter

To use Souin as beego filter, you can refer to the Beego filter integration folder to discover how to configure it.
You just have to define a new beego router and tell to the instance to use the Handle method like below:

import (
	"net/http"

	httpcache "github.com/darkweak/souin/plugins/beego"
)

func main(){

    // ...
	web.InsertFilterChain("/*", httpcache.NewHTTPCacheFilter())
    // ...

}

Caddy module

To use Souin as caddy module, you can refer to the Caddy module integration folder to discover how to configure it.
The related Caddyfile can be found here.
Then you just have to run the following command:

xcaddy build --with github.com/darkweak/souin/plugins/caddy

			httpcache.NewHTTPCacheFilter(httpcache.DevDefaultConfiguration),
		),
	)
}

You can also use the configuration file to configuration the HTTP cache. Refer to the code block below:

server: #...
data: #...
# HTTP cache part
httpcache:
  api:
    souin: {}
  default_cache:
    regex:
      exclude: /excluded
    ttl: 5s
  log_level: debug

After that you have to edit your server instanciation to use the HTTP cache configuration parser

import (
	httpcache "github.com/darkweak/souin/plugins/kratos"
	kratos_http "github.com/go-kratos/kratos/v2/transport/http"
)

func main() {
  c := config.New(
		config.WithSource(file.NewSource("examples/configuration.yml")),
		config.WithDecoder(func(kv *config.KeyValue, v map[string]interface{}) error {
			return yaml.Unmarshal(kv.Value, v)
		}),
	)
	if err := c.Load(); err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	server := kratos_http.NewServer(
		kratos_http.Filter(
			httpcache.NewHTTPCacheFilter(httpcache.ParseConfiguration(c)),
		),
	)
  // ...
}

Roadrunner middleware

To use Souin as Roadrunner middleware, you can refer to the Roadrunner plugin integration folder to discover how to configure it.
Ysou have to build your rr binary with the souin dependency.

[velox]
build_args = ['-trimpath', '-ldflags', '-s -X github.com/roadrunner-server/roadrunner/v2/internal/meta.version=${VERSION} -X github.com/roadrunner-server/roadrunner/v2/internal/meta.buildTime=${TIME}']

[roadrunner]
ref = "master"

[github]
    [github.token]
    token = "GH_TOKEN"

    [github.plugins]
    logger = { ref = "master", owner = "roadrunner-server", repository = "logger" }
    cache = { ref = "master", owner = "darkweak", repository = "souin", folder = "/plugins/roadrunner" }
	# others ...

[log]
level = "debug"
mode = "development"

After that, you'll be able to set each Souin configuration key under the http.cache key.

# .rr.yaml
http:
  # Other http sub keys
  cache:
    api:
      basepath: /httpcache_api
      prometheus:
        basepath: /anything-for-prometheus-metrics
      souin: {}
    default_cache:
      allowed_http_verbs:
        - GET
        - POST
        - HEAD
      allowed_additional_status_codes:
        - 202
        - 400
      cdn:
        api_key: XXXX
        dynamic: true
        hostname: XXXX
        network: XXXX
        provider: fastly
        strategy: soft
      regex:
        exclude: '/excluded'
      timeout:
        backend: 5s
        cache: 1ms
      ttl: 5s
      stale: 10s
    log_level: debug
    ykeys:
      The_First_Test:
        headers:
          Content-Type: '.+'
      The_Second_Test:
        url: 'the/second/.+'
    surrogate_keys:
      The_First_Test:
        headers:
          Content-Type: '.+'
      The_Second_Test:
        url: 'the/second/.+'
  middleware:
    - cache
    # Other middlewares

Skipper filter

To use Souin as skipper filter, you can refer to the Skipper plugin integration folder to discover how to configure it.
You just have to add to your Skipper instance the Souin filter like below:

package main

import (
	souin_skipper "github.com/darkweak/souin/plugins/skipper"
	"github.com/zalando/skipper"
	"github.com/zalando/skipper/filters"
)

func main() {
	skipper.Run(skipper.Options{
		Address:       ":9090",
		RoutesFile:    "example.yaml",
		CustomFilters: []filters.Spec{souin_skipper.NewSouinFilter()}},
	)
}

After that you will be able to declare the httpcache filter in your eskip file.

hello: Path("/hello") 
  -> httpcache(`{"api":{"basepath":"/souin-api","security":{"secret":"your_secret_key","enable":true,"users":[{"username":"user1","password":"test"}]},"souin":{"security":true,"enable":true}},"default_cache":{"regex":{"exclude":"ARegexHere"},"ttl":"10s","stale":"10s"},"log_level":"INFO"}`)
  -> "https://www.example.org"

Træfik plugin

To use Souin as Træfik plugin, you can refer to the pilot documentation and the Træfik plugin integration folder to discover how to configure it.
You have to declare the experimental block in your traefik static configuration file. Keep in mind Træfik run their own interpreter and they often break any dependances (such as the yaml.v3 support).

# anywhere/traefik.yml
experimental:
  plugins:
    souin:
      moduleName: github.com/darkweak/souin
      version: v1.7.5

After that you can declare either the whole configuration at once in the middleware block or by service. See the examples below.

# anywhere/dynamic-configuration
http:
  routers:
    whoami:
      middlewares:
        - http-cache
      service: whoami
      rule: Host(`domain.com`)
  middlewares:
    http-cache:
      plugin:
        souin:
          api:
            prometheus: {}
            souin: {}
          default_cache:
            regex:
              exclude: '/test_exclude.*'
            ttl: 5s
            allowed_http_verbs:
              - GET
              - HEAD
              - POST
            allowed_additional_status_codes:
              - 202
              - 400
            default_cache_control: no-store
          log_level: debug
          urls:
            'domain.com/testing':
              ttl: 5s
            'mysubdomain.domain.com':
              ttl: 50s
              default_cache_control: public, max-age=86400
          ykeys:
            The_First_Test:
              headers:
                Content-Type: '.+'
            The_Second_Test:
              url: 'the/second/.+'
            The_Third_Test:
            The_Fourth_Test:
          surrogate_keys:
            The_First_Test:
              headers:
                Content-Type: '.+'
            The_Second_Test:
              url: 'the/second/.+'
            The_Third_Test:
            The_Fourth_Test:

# anywhere/docker-compose.yml
services:
#...
  whoami:
    image: traefik/whoami
    labels:
      # other labels...
      - traefik.http.routers.whoami.middlewares=http-cache
      - traefik.http.middlewares.http-cache.plugin.souin.api.souin
      - traefik.http.middlewares.http-cache.plugin.souin.default_cache.ttl=10s
      - traefik.http.middlewares.http-cache.plugin.souin.default_cache.allowed_http_verbs=GET,HEAD,POST
      - traefik.http.middlewares.http-cache.plugin.souin.log_level=debug

Tyk plugin

To use Souin as a Tyk plugin, you can refer to the Tyk plugin integration folder to discover how to configure it.
You have to define the use of Souin as post and response custom middleware. You can compile your own Souin integration using the Makefile and the docker-compose inside the tyk integration directory and place your generated souin-plugin.so file inside your middleware directory.

{
  "name":"httpbin.org",
  "api_id":"3",
  "org_id":"3",
  "use_keyless": true,
  "version_data": {
    "not_versioned": true,
    "versions": {
      "Default": {
        "name": "Default",
        "use_extended_paths": true
      }
    }
  },
  "custom_middleware": {
    "pre": [],
    "post": [
      {

      }
    ],
    "post_key_auth": [],
    "auth_check": {
      "name": "",
      "path": "",
      "require_session": false
    },
    "response": [
      {
        "name": "SouinResponseHandler",
        "path": "/opt/tyk-gateway/middleware/souin-plugin.so"
      }
    ],
    "driver": "goplugin",
    "id_extractor": {
      "extract_from": "",
      "extract_with": "",
      "extractor_config": {}
    }
  },
  "proxy":{
    "listen_path":"/httpbin/",
    "target_url":"http://httpbin.org/",
    "strip_listen_path":true
  },
  "active":true,
  "config_data": {
    "httpcache": {
      "api": {
        "souin": {
          "enable": true
        }
      },
      "cdn": {
        "api_key": "XXXX",
        "provider": "fastly",
        "strategy": "soft"
      },
      "default_cache": {
        "ttl": "5s"
      }
    }
  }
}

Webgo middleware

To use Souin as webgo middleware, you can refer to the Webgo middleware integration folder to discover how to configure it.
You just have to define a new webgo router and tell to the instance to use the process method like below:

import (
	"net/http"

	"github.com/bnkamalesh/webgo/v6"
	cache "github.com/darkweak/souin/plugins/webgo"
)

func main(){

    // ...
	httpcache := cache.NewHTTPCache(cache.DevDefaultConfiguration)
	router.Use(httpcache.Middleware)
    // ...

}
