CakePHP cache engine analysis
summary
Analysis compares CakePHP cache engines (file, memcached, Redis, APCu, array, null) with custom timing scripts, JMeter and MireBenchmark and PHP 5 environment. Tests run read/write batches of 100, 500, 1,000 and 10,000 requests and a JMeter workload with 1,000 concurrent requests. Results show file fastest on reads, memcached fastest on writes and lowest latency overall; Redis wins when atomic operations or complex data manipulation are required. Recommendation depends on read/write profile, budget and deployment (file for read‑heavy blogs, memcached for high throughput, Redis for advanced use).
