Unfortunately, this topic is more of an art than a science, given that there is really no foolproof algorithm or approach that can tell you exactly where you might hit a bottleneck with server performance.

Memcached is more memory efficient than Redis. Redis is more memory efficient only after you use hashes. Means that data might be lost in Memcached after a reboot of the server/machine. Memcached stores variables in memory and retrieves data directly from server memory. Redis can not handle heavy traffic on read/write.

To be clear, these languages were not designed to be fast or space-efficient, but for ease of use. Unfortunately, languages like Python have proven resistant to efficient implementation, partly because of their design, and partly because of limitations imposed by the need to interop with C code. Are caches large enough for this code?
