Memcache increasing fetch time of an entity

[Pramod Bhargav]

Hi,

I am testing performance of my get calls on a entity

below is the result(Miliseconds) without MemCache

Without MemCache

1 user

1st time :9797

2nd Time :3790

3rd Time :3091

4rd Time :3634

5th Time :2771

6th time :3890

Without MemCache

10 users:

1st time :3242

2nd Time :3874

3rd Time :2990

4rd Time :3790

5th Time :3027

6th time :3627

Now i added @cache on my entity and thought of decreasing fetch time but i got this

With MemCache

1 user

1st time :10470

2nd Time :5478

3rd Time :5661

4rd Time :5762

5th Time :5182

6th time :5627

10 users:

1st time :5732

2nd Time :5766

3rd Time :5886

4rd Time :5948

5th Time :4745

6th time :5359

Now i am not sure why time got increased with Memcache

can you please help in in pointing out my mistake while making entity cacheble?

Thanks

Hi Pramod,

This is pretty hard in explaining what is correct or incorrect here, as we only see the results of your tests, not the tests themselves.

I will assume you are using objectify (by the "@cache" you mention). In any case, I would look up this doc on objectify, as it points to some caveats about the Global Cache.

In any case, if your question is "how do I use @cache to increase read speed of my application" then it is perhaps better suited to Stack Overflow. I would suggest you post on that forum, making sure you include your code, the code without caching, the code with caching, and the results of your tests. We do monitor Stack Overflow, so if the community doesn't answer you, there is a chance one of the Google Cloud Platform Support team does.

Cheers!
