GCP: GAE - Memcache best practices

Memcache is a distributed in-memory data cache in front of or in place of robust persistent storage for some tasks. GAE includes a memory cache service for this purpose. Best practices for using memcache: 1. Handling memcache API failures gracefully; Do not expose errors to the end users 2. Use batching capability of the API when possible 3. Distribute load across your memcache keyspace Use sharding and aggregating for improving performance efficiency. Use TTL (expiration policy) to make sure the memcache does not fill-up indefinitely Use getIdentifiable() and putIfUntouched() for managing the values that may get affected by concurrent updates Use batching (getMulti ("comments", "commented_by") ) to fetch related values together instead of one by one Use graceful error handling
