Memcached

Memcached

Definition

Memcached is a high-performance, distributed in-memory key-value cache originally designed for web application caching. It is simple, fast, and horizontally scalable, but does not support persistence, replication, or complex data structures.

Memcached remains widely used for simple read-heavy caching patterns where Redis's additional features are unnecessary.
