Rails caching is difficult and complicated. It takes some work to set it up, but it’s even harder to make sure you always clear the right cache when data gets changed. This session demonstrates how to build an automatic generation-based action caching mechanism built on memcached that can handle edits from any angle while guaranteeing that users never see stale data.

Come see how to implement automatic caching, how to deal with tricky issues like event recording, and how to easily partition when you need a hierarchy of caches for your own users vs. different customers. As a bonus, you’ll see how to asynchronously pre-cache key pages upon user logon.

Attendees should have strong Rails experience and should understand the various types of built-in caching. Knowledge of memcached would also be helpful.
