I can chime in on this one easily: >>4. What was the support overhead from a time and expertise standpoint to maintain this?
memcached is probably the lowest-maintenance part of our infrastructure. I have a lot of boxes like this: storage4: 14:01:31 up 818 days, 18:57, 0 users, load average: 0.73, 0.70, 0.65 whose memcached instances would have lasted 818 days, except for the time we upgraded to get the newer eviction stats in the most recent version. :) other than that, it's like dial tone for us at Flickr. -john __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
