Memcached is a widely used high-performance distributed caching system for storing and retrieving data in memory. It works as a network cache server, which temporarily stores 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, using a key-value model, where data is identified by a unique key. It offers a command-line interface and APIs to access and manipulate cached data. With its ability to scale out, 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 sites, social media, and streaming services.
