A blog post?  Here?? Yes, I know it has been an extremely long while.  I've been doing some writing over here, for the blog associated with my new company (Marcato Partners, LLC) that is focused on agile development coaching.  Even with that focus, I'm still doing technical consulting of course - I just delivered this talk on Velocity (AppFabric Caching) at the Twin Cities Code Camp this past weekend (April 10, 2010).  I’ll be delivering something close to this again at the May 20th, 2010 at the local Connected Systems User Group.

It would be fun to run some side by side performance tests to compare Velocity and memcache. I really like the ability to configure via PowerShell. If you currently have an Azure web application deployed is there a hosted AppFabric Velocity service available?

Great set of slides. Thanks for posting!

Hello Jim! My understanding is that they intend to bring caching to Azure. It isn't there yet...
Since memcache is unmanaged code and is so mature, I suppose it has a fair shot at being faster. It doesn't bring the high availability piece or locking APIs to the table (to my knowledge) though there are ways of using "other" key/values to simulate locking, of course.
