About:
Memcached is an in-memory key-value store for small arbitrary data. It is designed for speed, reducing database load by caching results of complex queries. The system is distributed and multi-threaded, making it ideal for scaling dynamic web applications.
Key Features:
  • In-memory caching
  • Distributed architecture
  • High performance & low latency
  • Simplified API
Use Cases:
  • Database query result caching
  • Session storage for web apps
  • Page fragment caching
Alternatives:
  • Redis – Redis offers richer data structures and persistence, while Memcached focuses strictly on simple, fast caching.
