Explore the innovative "mcrouter" software developed by Facebook to transform standalone caches into a robust distributed system. Learn how this technology addresses challenges such as growing working sets, transient failures, and multiple clusters. Discover the implementation of cold pools and gain insights into handling transient failures, FBAR, Memcache consistency, NIC Replay, and config updates. Dive into the concept of Cold Cash and understand how mcrouter enhances cache management in large-scale distributed environments.
