Memcached is pretty much the industry standard now for caching on high traffic sites, at least those that use the LAMP stack. Flickr and Wikipedia both use it, but the highest traffic install at the moment is probably Facebook who are running 200+ memcache servers each with 16GB of RAM. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.cache.memcached/3212 If your site is almost all reads memcache should work like a dream. Django's caching framework (which can use memcache on the backend) should cover you nicely. If you haven't read it already, I'd strongly suggest getting a copy of Cal Henderson's book "Building Scalable Websites", which covers a ton of lessons he learnt scaling Flickr. Best book on the subject I've seen. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
