Caching In Node.js Applications
In-process caching may be implemented in a Node.js application through libraries, such as node-cache, memory-cache, api-cache, and others. There is a wide variety of distributed caching solutions, but the most popular ones are Redis and Memcached. They are both in-memory key-value stores and optimal for read-heavy workloads or compute-intensive workloads due to their use of memory rather than the slower on-disk storage mechanisms found in traditional database systems.

Best engineering interview question I've gotten
> Multiple clients racing can't be fixed.
Really? You can't think of a single way for multiple clients to operate on the same data without racing? (Here's a hint if you're still having trouble: https://github.com/memcached/memcached/wiki/Commands#cas.)

How to choose the right type of database
Memcached: A simple, open-source, distributed memory object caching system primarily used for caching strings. Best suited for lightweight, non-persistent caching needs.

Sieve is simpler than LRU
Oh, thank you! I didn't realize that LRU Maintainer Thread was more than an expiration reaper. When it was first being introduced that was its first responsibility as lazy expiration removal by size eviction meant dead entries wasted capacity. It was all work in progress when I had read about it [1] and talked to dormando, so it got fuzzy. The compat code [2, 3] might have also thrown me off if I only looked at the setting and not the usage. Its a neat variant to all of these ideas.

Django Caching 101: Understanding the Basics and Beyond
Django supports using Memcached as a cache backend. Memcached is a high-performance, distributed memory caching system that can be used to store cached data across multiple servers.

Node.js server-side authentication: Tokens vs. JWT
In server-side authentication, the session state is stored on the server-side, which can be scaled horizontally across multiple servers using tools like Redis or Memcached.
