Fastest Cache

An experiment ground for testing which cache backend is the fastest.

Sample Run

Start the server:

./manage.py runserver

First run it a bunch of times:

wrk -d10s "http://127.0.0.1:8000/random"

Then to see which was the fastest:

curl http://127.0.0.1:8000/summary

You'll get an output like this:

          TIMES        AVERAGE         MEDIAN         STDDEV
