Caching with Memcached and APC
Ben Ramsey (10.Mar.2010 at 10:45)
Talk at ConFoo.ca Web Techno Conference (English - US)
Today's high-traffic web sites must implement performance-boosting measures that reduce data processing and reduce load on the database, while increasing the speed of content delivery. One such method is the use of a cache to temporarily store whole pages, database recordsets, large objects, and sessions. While many caching mechanisms exist, memcached provides one of the fastest and easiest-to-use caching servers. Coupling memcached with the alternative PHP cache (APC) can greatly improve performance by reducing data processing time. In this talk, Ben Ramsey covers memcached and the pecl/memcached and pecl/apc extensions for PHP, exploring caching strategies, a variety of configuration options to fine-tune your caching solution, and discusses when it may be appropriate to use memcached vs. APC to cache objects or data.

This talk lacked much of the underlying technical details of memcached and APC and failed to give much more than absolute beginner surface level examples of how to implement them, which even then you weren't sure on. Way too many "I think" and "I'm not sure" moments. Giving the "speed up" config options then not really being able to back them up with an adequate explanation of what exactly they do was kind of strange.
