Varnish Software Launches Zipnish, an Open Source Tool for Microservices Performance Tracking
First Architecture-Agnostic Tool to Provide Operational Insights Into How Services Are Running in Large-Scale Distributed Infrastructures
(firmenpresse) - OSLO, NORWAY and LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM and STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN and PARIS, FRANCE and NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwired) -- 12/01/15 -- Varnish Software, the company behind the web performance engine Varnish Cache, today launched Zipnish, a new open source tool that tracks performance and helps resolve latency issues in microservices architectures. Available immediately through , Zipnish gives developers insights on the status of each microservice component regardless of development and deployment architecture.
Gaining insights into how quickly services are running or if they are adding latency is a difficult task in distributed architectures such as microservices. Twitter developed the open source software Zipkin in 2012 to address this issue, however it only supports Java architectures. Varnish Software today launches Zipnish in response to demand for an architecture-agnostic open source tool. For example, a customer had been using Varnish Cache for stateless microservices, central caching and cache invalidation in its microservices environment but needed a tracing tool that would also work with .net.
"Companies use Varnish Cache for speeding up a lot different things, not just websites", explains Per Buer, founder and CTO of Varnish Software. "Microservices is one of those popular use cases. Several Varnish Cache users have been asking us for an easy way to track the performance of individual microservices regardless of architecture. We had the ingredients to easily build this and decided to open source it to allow our community to reap the benefits of this new project."
Zipnish uses the Varnish logging API from Varnish Cache 4.0 to monitor transactions. It uses Python and the event library to transport the data. MySQL is used as database for storage. The presentation backend is done in Python whereas a slightly modified version of is used as frontend.
