Memcached – ElvenWorks

Memcached is a widely used high-performance distributed caching system designed to store and retrieve data in memory. It operates as a cache server in the network, temporarily storing data in RAM to provide fast responses and reduce the load on databases or other storage systems. Memcached is designed to be simple and efficient, utilizing a key-value model where data is identified by a unique key. It offers a command-line interface and APIs to access and manipulate the cached data.

With its horizontal scalability capability, Memcached can be distributed across multiple servers to increase storage capacity and handle high traffic demands. It is widely used in web applications, especially in environments where speed and scalability are crucial, such as e-commerce websites, social media platforms, and streaming services.

How to Monitor Memcached on the One Platform
