Howdy!
CloudCache.net is seeking alpha users for our new metered service. The
CloudCache services include:
- Basic memcached capabilities wrapped in a ReSTful API
- Improvements on memcached including the ability to backup,
reconfigure, restore, and list keys. This allows us to grow our memcached
farm transparently to our users.
- Improved reliability - your keys and values are hashed across our
memcached farm, so the odds of losing any significant portion of your cached
data are minimized (along with great reliability of EC2 service and our
backup and restore capabilities).
- Indexing for search - unlike lucene, ferret, solr, etc., the reverse
indices are stored in memcached for ultimate performance and scalability.
- Search, filtering, and ranking - after pulling the reverse indices
from memcached, the service uses your rules for ranking, filtering (by other
indices), and pagination.
- Set and Get via url into memcached - great for thumbnails and
anything else under the conventional 1MB memcached limit.
CloudCache.net is built within the Amazon EC2 cloud, and will ultimately be
provided as a metered service along the lines of S3.
Attributes of alpha users who will be selected:
- AWS/EC2 users are preferred, as the network latency within the cloud
is expected to be better, or at least more controlled and consistent.
- Existing search and perhaps problematic performance
- Pro-ReST and Pro-SOA
- For search, provide access to db (mysql preferred) and your current
search fields, ranking, filtering, etc. We will help build the search web
service to support your requirements.
- Willingness to provide positive references if/when you have positive
experiences, especially hard metrics showing the before and after
improvement.
Our commitment to you is that we will not lock you into the service. Our
backup and key listing service gives us the ability to provide you with
everything you need to migrate out of the service.
If you''re interested in being a CloudCachet.net alpha user, or if you
have
any questions about the alpha program, please send email to
Alpha-fEEwYZz2eqc5etPau2IXcQ@public.gmane.org .
Thanks for your kind attention,
Marc
