THIRD PARTY MEMORY VS JVM MEMORY

Advantages of JVM memory over third party memory:

1. JVM memory is faster (no network).
2. JVM memory won’t require serialization, you have Java objects available to you.

Advantages of third party memory over JVM memory:

1. It can be accessed by more than one application server, so your cache will be shared among all your app servers.
2. It can be accessed by a variety of different servers, so long as they all agree on the key scheme and the serialization.
3. It will discard expired cache values, so you get time-based invalidation.

Most of the technology selectors use either Memcached or Redis and there are several open source APIs with several languages to work with.
