Show HN: Zcached, in-memory key-value cache wire-compatible with memcached zcached is an in-memory key-value cache exposing a memcached ASCII protocol-compatible interface, built on pluggable cache engines like Ristretto and freecache [0]. It's not performance-competitive with memcached, especially at higher thread counts. That said, it achieves about 1.1M ops/s, but at significantly higher P99 and P999 latency (as measured by memtier). See [1] and [2] for benchmark results from my 7950x-based workstation. Disclaimer: This is a hobby project created for fun while hacking over the holidays. zcached is not a commercial product and never will be. Don't use it in production; consider this a technology demo more than anything. I don't expect the source code to build outside of my environment, but for those interested in playing with it, binary artifacts are available at [3]. Try `zcached --address tcp:localhost:11211`.
