Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Caching server that is compatible with Memcache, Valkey/Redis, HTTP, and Postgres wire protocols, but faster. Can run as an independent server or embedded (it’s a self-contained C program). Memory and CPU optimized. Supports TTL and upserts.

Tradeoffs

Doesn’t do distributed routing or failover.
