During the last 16 / 18 months I've been working primarily with Microsoft technologies on the Desktop. A big lump of: WPF + OpenXML + Entity Framework. In other words: big stacks, massive code bases and tons of hours trying to understand what is going on under every:

During the last weeks I've got the request to write some documentation of the localization tech stack I've been working during the last 18-ish months. In the team I'm working with nowadays, there's a group of specialized documentation writers. Tech writers.

I was worried about the performance of our Database Servers. Our access patterns are mostly read-only, so why not cache the data we need in an intermediate server? Redis appears to be a good solution.
