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

- Scalable across multiple servers using consistent hashing
- Supports Least Recently Used (LRU) eviction strategy
- Client libraries available for multiple languages
