AnyData - A case study.
Advantages of caching:

Reduced strain on your DB Server.

Faster lookups.

You can take your configuration db server down, and the apps that are running will continue to run.

Disadvantages of caching:

Increased startup costs.

Changes in configuration are not noticed until your application is restarted.

Available SQL is reduced to whatever is supported in SQL::Statement.
