The State of Plone Caching

What

The old workhorse, CacheFu, has long been on everyone's must-install list of Plone add-ons. For Plone 4, the new solution is now plone.app.. This session will discuss the latest developments in both products, with a greater emphasis on the bright and shiny bits.

Learn how to install and customize these products, how to diagnose issues and benchmark performance, what are split-views and how to cache them correctly, what are the cache engineering tradeoffs when dealing with composite views, how to set up a proxy the right way, and some more miscellaneous tricks of the trade as time permits and mood swings allow.
