About:
Pelikan is a high-performance, production-ready caching solution developed by Twitter. It provides a unified framework for building cache services with a focus on low latency and high throughput. The project aims to offer a robust alternative to existing caching systems by leveraging modern Rust implementations.
Key Features:
  • High-performance cache server implementation
  • Built in Rust for memory safety and speed
  • Supports multiple cache protocols (like Redis)
  • Designed for production environments
Use Cases:
  • Reducing database load for read-heavy applications
  • Implementing low-latency data access layers
  • Caching session data or API responses
Alternatives:
  • Redis – Redis is a widely adopted in-memory store, while Pelikan aims to provide a more modern, Rust-based alternative with specific architectural optimizations.
  • Memcached – Memcached is a simpler, pure key-value cache, whereas Pelikan offers a more structured framework for building various cache types.
