Since a few years already, the web apps designed to scale to million
of users seems to use stuff like "memcache" to share data.

The format of the data shared is normally the native of the language,
probably often serialization of objects.  The data don't have to live
longer than the execution of the program, so is ok ( Is not like a
lazy java programmer saving a serialized object to a database).
