MemcacheDB

MemcacheDB is a persistence enabled variant of <a href="/facts/Memcached/m43x4fRg">memcached</a>. MemcacheDB has not been actively maintained since 2009. It is a general-purpose distributed memory caching system often used to speed up dynamic <a href="/facts/Database/VYcpkevb">database</a>-driven websites by caching data and <a href="/facts/Object_(computer_science)/eX99dtAw">objects</a> in <a href="/facts/Computer_storage/wPHKFpdx">memory</a>. It was developed by Steve Chu and Howard Chu. The main difference between MemcacheDB and memcached is that MemcacheDB has its own key-value database system. based on <a href="/facts/Berkeley_DB/lWwNrclz">Berkeley DB</a>, so it is meant for persistent storage rather than limited to a non-persistent cache. A version of MemcacheDB using <a href="/facts/Lightning_Memory-Mapped_Database/ELYDjKj1">Lightning Memory-Mapped Database</a> (LMDB) is also available, offering greater performance. MemcacheDB is accessed through the same protocol as memcached, so applications may use any memcached API as a means of accessing a MemcacheDB database.
MemcacheQ is a MemcacheDB variant that provides a simple <a href="/facts/Message_queue/Kq7kX86w">message queue</a> service.
Active development of MemcacheDB seems to have currently stopped; the web page hasn't been updated since 2009.
