11 Common Web Use Cases Solved in Redis

In How to take advantage of Redis just adding it to your stack Salvatore 'antirez' Sanfilippo shows how to solve some common problems in Redis by taking advantage of its unique data structure handling capabilities. Common Redis primitives like LPUSH, and LTRIM, and LREM are used to accomplish tasks programmers need to get done, but that can be hard or slow in more traditional stores. A very useful and practical article. http://highscalability.com/blog/2011/7/6/11-common-web-use-cases-solved-in-redis.html

On Redis, Memcached, Speed, Benchmarks and The Toilet

The internet is full of things: trolls, awesome programming threads, p0rn, proofs of how cool and creative the human beings can be, and of course crappy benchmarks . In this blog post I want to focus my attention to the latter, and at the same time I'll try to show how good methodology to perform a benchmark is supposed to be, at least from my point of view. Why speed matters? http://antirez.com/post/redis-memcached-benchmark.html

Innodb Buffer Pool is by far the most important option for Innodb Performance and it must be set correctly.
