How to reduce your memcache reads

By nahum | November 14, 2008

Several months back I presented at WellRailed on using Memcache with Rails. I focused on fragment caching and the libraries I’d created to make life easier. I’ve now moved some of what I discussed into a plugin available at github which I’ve described as follows:

A enhanced version of and replacement for the MemCacheStore shipping with rails. It uses a per-request local cache to buffer duplicate memcache reads which can result in halving read requests, and it uses a single connection to memcache for both the cache and session stores.

It doesn’t yet have the awesome key creation and maintenance library that I showed as that has evolved quite a bit and needs a big bunch of love first - which I’m working on.

There is now a dedicated page on this site for the plugin, currently it’s holds a copy of the plugin’s README. My intention is to update the page with examples etc.. as I extend the plugin.
