  • MySQL Performance Tuning Techniques

    Memcached can help when lightning-fast performance is needed. These tools store frequently accessed data, such as session details, API responses, or product prices, in RAM. This reduces the laid on your primary database, so you can deliver microsecond response times.

  • Outgrowing Postgres: Handling increased user concurrency
    13 projects | dev.to | 3 Feb 2025
    A caching layer using popular in-memory databases like Redis or Memcached can go a long way in addressing Postgres connection overload issues by being able to handle a much larger concurrent request load. Adding a cache lets you serve frequent reads from memory instead, taking pressure off Postgres.
  • API Caching: Techniques for Better Performance

    Memcached — Free and well-known for its simplicity, Memcached is a distributed and powerful memory object caching system. It uses key-value pairs to store small data chunks from database calls, API calls, and page rendering. It is available on Windows. Strings are the only supported data type. Its client-server architecture distributes the cache logic, with half of the logic implemented on the server and the other on the client side.

    One of the most effective ways to improve the application’s performance is caching regularly accessed data. There are two leading key-value stores: Memcached and Redis. I prefer using Memcached Cloud add-on for caching because it was originally intended for it and is easier to set up, and using Redis only for background jobs.

    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.)
