Persistent Key-Value Object Storage with MemcacheDB
While looking at a post about using memcache for a simple message queue, which by the way sounds very interesting in its own right. I once again found a link to the MemcacheDB project. They have made memcache persistent. It is some sort of and intermediate between regular memcached and a database. I can think of several scenarios where memcachedb would be useful. One that comes to mind is persistent storage of user- og and settings- objects in the system that I am currently working on, for Voicearchive.com.
Is My Blog Working – caching and gzip
For some reason I ran my blog through the online tool ismyblogworking.com – which suggested that I enabled mod_deflate and enabled mod_expires and added some configuration of both of these. I have not performed an a/b test of how this could influence the performance of the blog, but just enabled it, and tweaked it to where my experience told me the values should be. I found two ressources for those of you who wants to know how these changes could be made.
