we have just improved our session implementation. instead of storing our session table in mysql database, we stored them in memcache.
Memcached does things like silently drop your data when it runs out of room. If the daemon stops for any reason, all of your sessions are instantly gone (unlike a database where they are safely on disk and you can restart it). It is designed to be unreliable storage, since it's a cache and not a database. Some sites can get away with it, because they just don't care if they use all their users' sessions. Just be sure that your site is one of those before your start putting your sessions into lossy storage. - Perrin _______________________________________________ List: Catalyst@lists.rawmode.org Listinfo: http://lists.rawmode.org/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/catalyst@lists.rawmode.org/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/
