Cache solutions

Hello,

Which kind of cache do you recognize for orocommerce and orocrm ?
Do you thinks, a Varnish cache is enough ?
Or there are somethings like varnish or whatever better than varnish ?

Hello

As an out of box solutions orocommerce/orocrm supports FilesystemCache, PhpFileCache, MemoryCache, ApcCache, but all of these caching mechanisms are working inside of an application, i.e. cache results of execution of certain operations/processes. You can read more about caching in documentation – Cache in Oro Application

The thing is that Varnish is working outside of any application, providing caching for the whole pages of your site. This type of caching is called proxy caching. When speaking about orocommerce, I would not recommend to use proxy caching to cache pages, as it would break them because of forms and dynamic content. You could use such caching only for media files (e.g. pictures), but it’s not very efficient.
