9 Commits • 4 Features
Jul 1, 2025July 2025 performance summary for apache/trafficserver focused on reliability, configurability, and scalable user-facing features. Key improvements include: (1) Traffic_ctl now retrieves all host statuses when invoked with no host arguments, enabling simpler operational checks and automation. (2) Stability improvements for HTTP/2 streaming and caching paths by preventing I/O after transaction completion and canceling pending read retries, reducing dangling state and potential client-visible errors. (3) Robust DNS resolution logic by guarding against cancelled actions and null mutexes prior to triggering DNS resolutions, improving stability under edge conditions. (4) Configurable negative caching and revalidation lists, overridable via MgmtConverter, increasing flexibility for cache behavior without code changes. (5) Origin server retry behavior enhanced with exponential backoff via a new base delay parameter, reducing thundering herd situations and improving upstream resilience.
