English Presentation with [url=http://www.mysqlconf.com/mysql2009/public/schedule/detail/7009]MySQL and memcached[/url] [ODP] Memcached is a distributed memory object caching system that is getting a lot of press at the moment for its ability to provide a high-performance front-end for database applications. Sure, memcached can do wonders, but where is it most effective and what are the pain points? When a site grows the site administrator starts to worry about how to maintain performance as the hit count rises. Should extra hardware be thrown at the problem synchronisation issues start to rear their heads. Writing caching code is sometimes problematic and you have to be sure that the target of the caching warrants the extra code overhead. Memcached can assist in this phase (and through the majority of the growth phase of the site), however it is sometimes difficult to work out where and how to implement memcached for the best performance.
