Static objects caching
See the HOWTO for background info.
Symptoms
Section titled “Symptoms”- Requests to
/-/archive/or/raw/are failing with 5xx errors - Alerts about an increase in error rates in gitlab.net zone (where caching solution is hosted)
Resolution
Section titled “Resolution”Check Sentry for the caching solution; sometimes invalid URLs cause an exception in the worker script.
If a bug in the worker script is causing the errors, consider disabling the cache.
The application could be responding 5xx errors and the worker is just returning such responses. Check the application’s Sentry for clues (most likely other alerts would be triggered if this is the case).
