    The project homepage (by varnishcache)

    For reads, caches are the primary tool, such as Varnish or memcached.

  • bcc

    BCC - Tools for BPF-based Linux IO analysis, networking, monitoring, and more

    There are a number of tools that can be used to monitor cache efficiency (both external and local) - I recommend seeking them out. Some places to start are pg_stat_statements for Postgres (especially shared_blks_hit and local_blks_hit) for specific queries, and if running on a Linux server something like cachestat and its successor using BPF cachestat.py.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
