MongoDB at Etsy
- mumrah 16y agoPersonally, I would still put some caching in front of a document db. Either something in the application (memcache), or something in front of the web service (varnish, squid)
- bittersweet 16y agoFrom the article: >Caching at many levels is of course still a part of our application, but so far we've not found any reason to cache a single MongoDB document retrieved by primary key in an external cache like memcached, a practice that is currently common for us when we use relational databases. I'm not quite sure what they are actually caching as I can not find any valuable info in server headers at all, for example relating to varnish etc.
