[TYPO3-dev] TYPO3 cache -> Redis

[Robert Wildling]

Hi, dear dev-team,

I just stumbled upon the possibility to externalize TYPO3 caches to a 
NoSQL database, Redis in particular.

Is anyone here who could share some experience with that? I am supposed 
to implement it on a really huge site with lots of domains in a single 
tree enviroment, lots of editors, lots of languages (a university site). 
So editors (BE) as well as fe_users use the site quite frequently on a 
daily basis. Is there anything I have to specifically take care of as 
to, e.g., keep forms "uncached", watch out where to place cookies etc.

Also, would it make sense to combine Redis and Varnish on one system?

And, last but bot least: if NoSQL is a way to go, would other DB 
technically be qualified cempetitors, too (like MongoDB, CouchDB) or is 
there a specific reason why Redis is the number-one choice (aside from 
the fact that there are no implementations for the other DBs)?

Thanks!
Robert
