Caching database queries with Node.js

Question

Is there an implementation of database (mysql) query caching written purely in Node.js?

I\'m writing a Node web app and was planning on caching queries with memcache

Answer 1

You can definitely implement something like this in node, and it could be an interesting project, but it depends on your needs. If you're just doing this for a hobby project, by all means, build a caching layer in node and try it out. Let us know how it goes!

If this is for production use, then I would recommend sticking to the established caching layers (memcached, redis, etc) as they have already gone through all of the growing pains associated with building a scalable caching system.
