Is There a Support for Memory Management?

Memcached is an in memory cache with one major feature be a transient cache. Memcached has a very simple design. It was originally designed to help with database load by storing the query result in memory to avoid further querying the database. By default it has no authentication, a simple text protocols, servers don’t talk to each other. This video discuss the architecture of the cache, design choices and have some critics of the design choices. I go through a demo at the end using docker, telnet and nodes.
