This is exactly the type of response I was looking for. A few questions and comments: 1. RAM caching - I can see a big benefit to keeping cache in Erlang. No marshaling of data to and from memcached, for example. How do you handle eviction? 2. Avoiding the db - I'm going to guess this ties in with RAM caching. Are you doing a write through cache or something like that? Thanks for your response, it's helping it all to come together for me.
