Ehcache is an open source, standards-based cache for boosting performance, offloading your database, and simplifying scalability. It's the most widely-used Java-based cache because it's robust, proven, and full-featured. Ehcache scales from in-process, with one or more nodes, all the way to mixed in-process/out-of-process configurations with terabyte-sized caches.
Rails, MySQL, PostgreSQL are some of the popular tools that integrate with Solid Cache. Here's a list of all 3 tools that integrate with Solid Cache.
