The problem it's trying to solve is better addressed by removing the need to cache so much data. It's hard enough to manage one database without then having to deal with replication, and cache invalidation on top of it all.

Treating a browser like a real client application is putting lipstick on a pig. The harder you try, the uglier it gets.
