You can use the [Memcache](https://www.drupal.org/project/memcache) module to move some common cache queries out of the database and into memory. Information held in memory retrieves faster than information retrieved from a database query.

Memcached is available for all Cloud Platform websites. See [Using Memcached](/acquia-cloud-platform/performance/memcached) for information about how to use Memcached with a Cloud Platform-hosted Drupal website.
