Dedicated memcache is now generally available in App Engine 1 8 8

With the 1.8.8 App Engine release, we are glad to announce that dedicated memcache is now generally available.



Dedicated memcache is an App Engine feature that lets you scale your caching capacity indefinitely without having to manage a server farm of memcached machines. After going into Preview in July, hundreds of customers have deployed many terabytes in production, including a single application using six terabytes.



Customers have told us that with higher cache hit rates, dedicated memcache reduces their Datastore costs and makes their applications faster. Ben Kamens, Lead Developer at Khan Academy said, “Dedicated memcache helped us take more control over the performance of our site — well almost certainly be using memcache more and more as a result."



Since the preview announcement we’ve added several features to help customers manage their cache, such as hot key warnings in the memcache viewer, and cache size and performance graphs in the dashboard.



To get started using dedicated memcache, select dedicated memcache on the App Engine admin console’s application settings page.



The complete list of features and bug fixes for 1.8.8 can be found in our release notes. For App Engine coding questions and answers check us out on Stack Overflow, and for general discussion and feedback, find us on our Google Group.
