Cache? Where we're going, we don't need cache!

Explore the art of caching in modern applications, discussing the benefits and limitations of cache solutions, and introducing Ciladibi's low-latency NoSQL database as a viable alternative to external caches.

Key takeaways

Cache is not always necessary, but can be beneficial for certain workloads.
External caching solutions can lead to additional costs and complexity.
SloDB offers a cloud solution and compatibility with Apache Cassandra and DynamoDB.
Cache misses can be a problem when data is not stored in the cache.
Latency is a key factor in user experience and can impact conversion rates.
1% of requests can dominate overall latency, making tail latency important.
Ciladibi offers a low-latency NoSQL database with a shared nothing architecture.
The database needs time to process queries, and latency is used to measure this time.
Percentile measurements like P50, P90, P95, and P99 are used to measure latency.
Low latency can lead to happier users and increased revenue.
The 99th percentile is a key metric for measuring latency.
External caches can be useful, but may require additional configuration and maintenance.
Ciladibi’s cache is optimized for performance and can be used to replace external caches.
The speaker discussed the importance of considering latency in application development.
Low latency can be critical for real-time applications and can impact business outcomes.
Ciladibi offers a range of features to optimize database performance and reduce latency.
