Memcache as a service will defeat the whole purpose of having cache in memory. Latencies will kill you.
Memcache will only make sense if it is hosted in the private LAN.
- vyrotek 16y agoThought the same thing too, but apparently there are companies that offer it and there are people buying it.
- sounddust 16y agoMemcache will only make sense if it is hosted in the private LAN. I think the point is that he's only offering it to Linode users in the Dallas data center, which is where his service is located. Therefore the latency will be in the sub 1ms range, comparable to a private LAN. There may be other issues with this approach, but latency isn't one of them, at least in this implementation.
- paraschopra 16y agoYes, I agree. I was replying to the other commentator who asked memcache as a service. Memcache on public network will kill the objectives because latency would then be the main issue.
