Posted on In QAAbout caching system at Facebook.
According to: https://www.facebook.com/notes/facebook-engineering/monitoring-cache-with-claspin/10151076705703920
Facebook has two major cache systems: Memcache, which is a simple
lookaside cache with most of its smarts in the client, and TAO, a
caching graph database that does its own queries to MySQL.
