I'm doubting between APC and memcached to store information in the RAM of my server which has to expire automatically/be removed from the RAM after x seconds.
Looking at APC for storing the value in RAM with 30 seconds expiration time leaves the key forever in the RAM, up until someone tries to access it. It then removes the item; if you don't access the value after the expiration time it will remain in the cache. Forever. I was wondering how memcached treats the expiration time; does it provide an own garbage-collector process? Purpose: I want to store en key-value combination in RAM after each login to my web-app. As long as the person is active on the web-app the key-value will be 'reset' with *now() + 600 seconds. *If the person abandons the web-app the key-value pair have to be destroyed after the expiration time automatically. Is memcached able to do this automatically? -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "memcached" group.
