Blog: MySQL Conf – Memcached Internals
MySQL Conf – Memcached Internals by igvita.com
1. Don't think row-level (database) caching, think complex objects
2. Don't run memcached on your database server, give your database all the memory it can get
3. Don't obsess about TCP latency – localhost TCP/IP is optimized down to an in-memory copy
4. Think multi-get – run things in parallel whenever you can
5. Not all memcached client libraries are made equal, do some research on yours – hint, use Brians.
