Memcached

Memcached is a high-performance, open-source distributed memory caching system, typically used to accelerate dynamic, database-driven websites by storing frequently accessed data in RAM. To build memcached on your machine from the local repo, you will have to install autotools, automake, and libevent. If you want TLS support, install OpenSSL's development packages and change the configure line. libseccomp (optional, experimental, Linux), enables process restrictions for better security. Tested only on x86-64 architectures.

Features

Distributed in-memory key-value cache
Scalable across multiple servers using consistent hashing
Supports Least Recently Used (LRU) eviction strategy
Client libraries available for multiple languages
Can use TCP and UDP protocols to communicate with clients
Widely deployed by services like YouTube, Facebook, AWS, etc.
