Things that scares me, Mission Critical Caches

NCache has a new version out, and while the freature list seems really impressive, they added support to clustered, fail over caching. I have strong issues with any application where caching is mission critical to the point where you need to cluster it for reliability.

To me, this points to one of two things:

  • You are Google (and they have other solutions to this).
  • You rely on the cache to an extent that the application can't perform at all without it.
