If you're running Ruby on Rails record cache will do it all for you (I've yet to run into any issues, the one I thought was an issue was actually a pgpool-II bug). https://github.com/orslumen/record-cache If you're on Django I think cache-machine does the same thing. There are some things you won't get cached this way that you could manually (functions and procedures), but I think they're both conservative enough that you won't return stale resources.

There used to be many model-caching plugins for Rails, but few if any made the transition to Rails 3. The record-cache gem looks interesting and flexible, though I haven't tried it: https://github.com/orslumen/record-cache

In Everyone should be using low level caching in Rails
