Talk:Memcached

Pronunciation
Does anyone really pronounce it "mem-cash-dee?" There isn't a source on that, and I've only ever heard "mem-cashed". Mephistopheles (talk) 13:35, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

WordPress.com also uses memcache, but I did not add it because I disagree with having a list of well known sites in the article like that. It distracts from the article. Foolswisdom 00:30, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Memcached users? Who cares
Who cares who uses Memcached? Clearly Livejournal is significant to the history of Memcached because that is the purpose for which it was created. Lisa 07:18, 12 March 2007 (UTC).exactly...

Facebook
Facebook isn't listed on the referenced link. Is there another source that can verify Facebook is using memcached? ibjhb 16:01, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
 * It was confirmed by a Facebook developer, who suggested they may be the largest installation of the software Sycarr 17:14, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Facebook definitely uses memcached. In fact, they have largely taken over development of the application and have dramatically improved performance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mjmalone (talk • contribs) 20:17, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

What language?
What language is the example code in? Would be helpful to me. I'm guessing Perl, but not sure. This is the first page I've ever read about memcache on (just heard about it on a podcast). I found the list of sites that use it to be helpful in understanding the popularity, and lets me know that it must be a fairly stable platform. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.196.5.116 (talk) 03:07, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

example with race condition
The update part of the example contains a race, for some time the data in the DB and the memcache differ. In case of a crash of the client, this might be arbitrarily long. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.181.155.122 (talk) 10:00, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

How much of a performance boost does Memcached provide?
For instance, how much does it reduce the load of Wikipedia's servers? Does it cut it in half, or in a third, or what? Tisane (talk) 15:43, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Should a small note about this be included in wikipedia entry?
I mean this: http://www.sensepost.com/blog/4873.html Anyone read it already? What say? Will it be worth putting a note under Security (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memcached#Security)? JainAmber (talk) 10:58, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Bullet Cache previously know as mdcached
I think Bullet Cache a new alternative to Memcached should be added to the "Also see" section. Here is some info.

Maximum entry size
While memcached does recommend a maximum entry size of 1 MB, you can change this setting to allow entries of size up to 128 MB, albeit with performance degradation. I propose removing the line mentioning the maximum entry size entirely. BlackVegetable (talk) 15:49, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
