Hi Christian, I created the memcached-session-manager (msm) for the relaunch of one of the biggest sites in germany, therefore it's designed to be performant and scalable :) (the relaunch is still under development). We're just in the process of integrating msm in other projects as well, as session failover is often not fully covered.
However, some users should already be using it, according to the issue tracker and the mailing list (and some email conversations I had with others). Concerning performance and stability: as the memcached-session-manager itself does no resource intensive processing itself, performance and stability mainly depends on memcached and spymemcached (which is used for communication with memcached). Both are proven technologies which are used in production. In terms of performance it's interesting to consider, that session backup can be done asynchronously, so that your requests/responses do not have to wait until the session is sent to memcached (by default, the backup is done synchronously). If sessions are sent to memcached synchronously, you can specify the timeout for this. I just added these things (* sessionBackupAsync, sessionBackupTimeout) to the documentation, was still on my list, see http://code.google.com/p/memcached-session-manager/wiki/SetupAndConfiguration * * * *Cheers, Martin* On Mon, Oct 26, 2009 at 4:31 PM, Christian Becker <lobe...@googlemail.com>wrote: > > Hi Martin, > > this looks really great.
