SolidCache is a new database backed ActiveSupport cache developed at @37signals which gave them increased cache size, longer expiry time, reduced costs, and quicker email rendering times. Donal McBreen will tell you all about it in his talk at #RailsWorld

It's very refreshing to see that there are companies out there still caring about making good on their promises. I'm not even sure that something like SolidCache can be implemented at FAANG companies due to the sheer complexity of their infrastructure.

@adrienpoly Here are some numbers with my app and full page caching, comparing use of memcached vs SolidCache (Postgres). I am very impressed with SolidCache considering that it’s disk based:

Rails 8's #SolidCache uses affordable NVMe drives for caching, offering much more storage than RAM at a lower cost. In this episode of Rails 8 Unpacked, @typecraft_dev demonstrates how Solid Cache speeds up a Rails app, cuts infrastructure costs, eliminates the need for Redis,

I built a simple dashboard for SolidCache to:. • See cache hits/misses in real time.• Spot which keys are bloating memory.• Expire keys manually if needed. Might OSS it if anyone else finds this useful. Y’all want it?

In a recent article published by @BigBinary's software engineer Sandip Mane, they benchmarked different caching solutions for #Rails, comparing @Redisinc with alternatives like #Valkey, #DragonflyDB, #DiceDB, and SolidCache using PostgreSQL and SQLite3.

It was way more fun and interactive than I expected. We have a small yet wonderful community of Ruby enthusiasts here in Kochi. The Kerala Ruby meet up was fun. Here are a few snaps of my talk on Solid Cache. #ruby #rails #solidcache

Inspired by SolidCache, I wanted to Explore a rails engine to expose app analytics as objects in Rails. Made some good progress!. Could be cool to do things like query for pages a user has never visited, or see which controllers have the recent errors.

In the Opening Keynote of the first #RailsWorld, Ruby on Rails creator and 37signals CTO @dhh covered a lot of ground, including introducing 7 major tools: #Propshaft, #Turbo8, #Strada, #SolidCache, #SolidQueue, #MissionControl, and #Kamal. Check it out:

@MichaelDChaney @rails Haven't tried it, but based on some of my Rails8/Solid side projects it seems pretty doable. I haven't done anything with SolidCache, but I assume it gets a separate definition in database.yml like all the other Solid stuff:

Hi there! One more brownbag is coming! . Join Nehama in her presentation "How To Cache Using Solid Cache on Rails" at 13:10 BRT. Click on the link so you don't miss out! . #codeminer42 #brownbag #solidcache.

SolidCache supports sharding, which means in theory it could cache data in different regions of the world with a global database cluster. Rails isn’t speaking in these terms yet, but I hope we all think about data locality more for faster apps.

あー、でも、SolidCache は活用するよ。Redis を使わなくても良いキャッシュって夢の様じゃん？.

Railsのcache storeって全然選択肢ないんだよな。まー今となっては何作ってもSolidCacheへの繋ぎでしかなさそうではあるけど。FirestoreとかあればRedisよりよほど扱いやすそうなんだが。.

For reference, I also asked this question on the SolidCache repo: 👍.

SolidQueueはRails 7.1, SolidCacheはRails 7を要求するんだな。ふーぬー。.

Hey Rails friends. anyone else seeing this when using SolidCache?. In console, I try to do: `Rails.cache.write(:key, "value")`. But receive: ./gems/irb-1.13.1/lib/irb.rb:1277:in `full_message': undefined method `model' for class SolidCache::Entry (NoMethodError).

@cezaryklos Ha, you’re right! I got mixed up on that one. Thanks for the correction. What I am excited about for this feature in Rails 8 is that we can now use SolidCache as the backend. No redis!.

SolidCache is suddenly gonna become much more popular.

@FranckPachot have you seen this? . I am pretty sure @Yugabyte could support SolidCache with good performance and scalability. What do you think?.
