Development

• Caching

  • Always develop systems with cacheability in mind. This is the most important thing to consider during development, as it gives the most “bang for the buck”.
  • Most effective: caching rendered results with, e.g. Apache's mod_proxy or Squid's “accelerator” mode. Use Zope's HTTP Accelerated Cache Manager or CMF Cache Policy Manager, or set HTTP headers “by hand”.
  • Use a RAM Cache Manager to cache results of frequently called methods to tweak performance (late in development).
