Tell HN: Memcached and Redis Considered Harmful

It's 2021 and we have extremely fast key-value lookups using LevelDB/RocksDB, but we're still using RAM-based caching tools [1] [2] [3]. It's time to consider RAM-based caching harmful, and start caching with SSDs for larger datasets and lower costs. For ex: SSDB [4] [1] https://redis.io/ [2] https://memcached.org/ [3] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29532552 [4] https://github.com/ideawu/ssdb#ssdb-vs-redis

Stop using RAM for caching, SSDs are just as fast now with LevelDB/RocksDB and can store a magnitude more data. Look into SSDB [1] instead of Memcached. I know it's Redis, but it's basically the same as Memcached if you only use the key-value set/get commands. See this blog post [2] and this Gophercon 2021 talk [3] for examples of it's use in production. [1] https://github.com/ideawu/ssdb [2] https://wakatime.com/blog/45-using-a-diskbased-redis-clone-t...
