Idle Connection Timeout vs. Proxy Multiplexing: Trade‑off for Mitigating Memcached Connection Pool Exhaustion
Goal: Determine whether configuring a client‑side connection idle timeout or deploying a multiplexing proxy (e.g., mcrouter) more effectively prevents intermittent memcached connection pool exhaustion under bursty workloads while keeping latency impact acceptable. Constraints: The memcached ASCII protocol does not support request multiplexing, so each logica
