①why do we cache

cache: a component that transparently stores data so that future requests for that data can be served faster

CPU caches (L1, L2, L3)

disk caches

disk controller caches

database caches

memcached layer

application code caches

http cache

edge cache or CDN

operating system caches

② count them

and then there were more

DNS caching (ISP and client side)

web proxies

client side application caches

and all the hardware caching again

a short diversion:

my background is as an SA and DBA. i’ll be focusing data safety facets of caching

disk caches

disk controller caches

database caches

memcached layer

operating system caches

③which are redundant?

get moving!

④which are a risk?

disks lie

raid controllers lie (sometimes)

⑤ benchmarking

every infrastructure is different

every benchmarkhas to take that intoaccount

⑥ monitoring

measure multiple points

only you can preventfiredrills
