I am trying to integrate caching with my django project. After some research I am convinced memcache is best for this. So, I require to install memcache through apt-get memcache and then its python bindings again as another apt-get python-memcache. Then, I need to include in settings.py:

CACHES = {
    'default':{
        'BACKEND': 'django.core.cache.backends.memcached.MemcachedCache',
        'LOCATION': '127.0.0.1;11211',
    }

}

My question is, all the tutorials follow upto this step. Is the above enough for setting up the cache? Do I need to do something to start memcache when running the project? If so, can I start memcache with python manage.py runserver command?

Similarly to redis, postresql and so on - yes, of course you have to start it separately from django app. Django can connect to either of them. – Ivan Starostin Mar 11 '20 at 19:39
