Hey @jyeshe, do note that ets tables are tied to a specific process, so they will go away when that process does. Ets tables are not more permanent than genserver state.

Personally I have used it as a cache and i can say that there is big advantage of that. Simply everytime the first request was directly hitting the database and then storing it in the ets table. If i remember correctly the retrieval from the database was taking about 200ms, but when it was retrieving it from the ets it was about 7ms.
