Also because of the need for consistency and latency I'm not sure memcached would be a benefit because it could never be scaled anything but vertically anyways.

- rarestblog 16y agoMemcached? Only vertically? Horizontal scaling is built-in in all memcached clients.
- BuckToBid 16y agoyes, I was just saying that we can't wait for replication, when someone places a bid all the others users must have that information immediately.
- rarestblog 16y agomemcached doesn't do replication as far as I know. It will just have to do some requests second time. It still beats re-calculation on each request.
- ary 16y agoReplication is the wrong word for it. Key distribution is what you want. If a given memcache server goes down then the keys it was storing should get reloaded to a different one in your pool by your cold cache loading code.
