Dec 1, 2025Monthly performance summary for 2025-12 focused on delivering robust TLS upstream integration, HTTP/1.1 reliability, and component stability for the pingora project. Key work included enabling an upstream TLS handshake hook to attach application-specific data (upstream_tls_handshake_complete_hook) and exposing SslDigestExtensions in connected_to_upstream filters (currently limited to OpenSSL variants due to TlsRef limitations). Also addressed correctness and resilience through targeted tests and protocol hardening, plus formal MSRV stabilization across components.

Nov 1, 2025November 2025 performance summary for wasmerio/pingora: Delivered substantial performance and reliability improvements across cache management, HTTP range handling, and graceful shutdown workflows. Implemented cache sizing enhancements, improved eviction semantics, and introduced a peek_weight API, enabling tighter cache control and lower tail latency for misses. Hardened range handling and proxy behavior with refined Accept-Ranges logic, configurable multipart ranges, and RFC-compliant proxying, improving compatibility in proxy-heavy architectures. Strengthened session stability during upgrades/shutdowns by disabling keepalive and introducing a process-shutdown flag for session-aware filtering. Updated Rust code to address 1.91 warnings and modernize type annotations for better maintainability. Overall impact: lower latency, more predictable performance, improved reliability, and a cleaner codebase aligned with current Rust standards.
