Roadrunner middleware: Souin #

This is a distributed HTTP cache module for Roadrunner based on Souin cache.

Features #

• RFC 7234 compliant HTTP Cache.
• Sets the Cache-Status HTTP Response Header
• REST API to purge the cache and list stored resources.
• Builtin support for distributed cache.
• Tag-based invalidation.

Example configuration #

You can set each Souin configuration key under the http.cache key. There is a configuration example below.

# .rr.yaml
http:
  # Other http sub keys
  cache:
    api:
      basepath: /souin-api # Default route basepath for every additional APIs to avoid conflicts with existing routes
      prometheus: # Prometheus exposed metrics
        basepath: /anything-for-prometheus-metrics # Change the prometheus endpoint basepath
      souin: # Souin listing keys and cache management
        basepath: /anything-for-souin # Change the souin endpoint basepath
    cache_keys:
      '.*\.css':
        disable_body: true # Prevent the body from being used in the cache key
