CouchDb and Web Cache

Hi,

 

Does it make any sense to put Web Cache in front of CouchDb? It seems
that while CouchDb provides all of the appropriate headers to make
results cacheable, it has its own cache, so web cache would be totally
superfluous. Is that correct?

 

Thanks!

Oleg

Running a cache on the same computer as CouchDB probably won't help
much since it will force out the filesystem cache that CouchDB
desperately needs to perform really well.

If you have another box with spare memory it'll absolutely work as
expected if you let it proxy to Couch.
