When a site is deployed and content is pretty stable (not being changed much in admin) do normal browsing web requests ever hit the database or do they just hit cache (umbraco.config)?
Reason I ask is I was planning on hosting on SQL Azure (http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/sql-database/#basic-standard-and-premium) and notice the basic option is very attractive in terms of pricing but obviously not in terms of performace. But if my CMS was pretty much cached then I would not need awesome DB performace.
I think almost everything is taken out of the umbraco.config. I think the small is doing some basic database-stuff when starting up the website (because it won't work with a broken connection string), but that can't be much.
Although, if you use the member-section it will use the database, because members aren't cached for as far as I know.
Umbraco Cache Question
Hello
When a site is deployed and content is pretty stable (not being changed much in admin) do normal browsing web requests ever hit the database or do they just hit cache (umbraco.config)?
Reason I ask is I was planning on hosting on SQL Azure (http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/sql-database/#basic-standard-and-premium) and notice the basic option is very attractive in terms of pricing but obviously not in terms of performace. But if my CMS was pretty much cached then I would not need awesome DB performace.
Any advice welcomed.
Cheers Paul
Hi Paul,
I think almost everything is taken out of the umbraco.config. I think the small is doing some basic database-stuff when starting up the website (because it won't work with a broken connection string), but that can't be much.
