ORM Cache Memcached

Supercharge Odoo with Shared Cache System - Ultimate Performance Solution for Multi-Worker

Performance Boost: Up to 70% faster ORM operations

Shared cache across workers | Reduced database load | Enterprise-grade scalability

Problems WITHOUT this module

ORM Cache Limitations:

  • Isolated Cache: Each worker has separate cache
  • Cache Miss: Data cached in worker A cannot be shared with worker B
  • Memory Waste: Duplicate cache data across workers
  • Cold Start: New workers must rebuild cache from scratch
  • Database Overload: Duplicated queries from multiple workers
Impact Without Memcached:
  • Database CPU: 200%
  • Response Time: 150%
  • Memory Usage: 300%
  • Cache Hit Rate: 40%

Benefits WITH this module

Performance Gains:
  • ORM Speed: 70%
  • Database Load: 60%
  • Memory Efficiency: 50%
  • Cache Hit Rate: 85%

Key Features:

  • Shared Cache: All workers access same cached data
  • Hybrid Architecture: Local + Memcached for best performance
  • Auto Serialization: Handle complex Odoo objects seamlessly
  • Smart Expiration: Automatic cache refresh (1 hour TTL)
  • Fallback Safe: Works even if Memcached fails

How It Works - Architecture

Data Flow Architecture

1. Cache Lookup: Local LRU Memcached Database
2. Data Storage: Database Memcached + Local Cache
3. Cache Sharing: Worker A cache All Workers via Memcached
4. Smart Cleanup: LRU eviction + TTL expiration (1h)

Installation & Configuration

Step 1: Install Dependencies

# Install Memcached server
sudo apt-get install memcached

# Install Python client
pip3 install pymemcache

Step 2: Configure Memcached

# Start memcached service
sudo systemctl start memcached
sudo systemctl enable memcached

Step 3: Odoo Configuration

# Add to odoo.conf
[options]
server_wide_modules = base,web,ormcache_memcached_gt
memcached_uri = localhost:11211
# For Unix socket:
# memcached_uri = unix:/tmp/memcached.sock
Important: Must add to server_wide_modules since it overrides Registry class!

Step 4: Install Module

# Install module via Apps menu
# Search: "ORM Cache Memcached"

# Then restart Odoo to load new config
sudo systemctl restart odoo

Technical Implementation

Core Components:

  • MemcachedLRU: Hybrid cache class
  • Registry Override: Hook into ORM cache
  • JSON Serializer: Handle Odoo objects
  • Hash Algorithm: MD5 for performance

Cache Strategy:

  • L1 Cache: Local LRU (fast access)
  • L2 Cache: Memcached (shared)
  • Write-Through: Both caches updated
  • Smart Expiry: 1h TTL + touch refresh

Safety Features:

  • Graceful Fallback: Works without Memcached
  • Error Handling: Logged but non-blocking
  • Synchronized: Thread-safe operations
  • Consistent: Multi-worker coordination
