This topic describes the benefits of ApsaraDB for Memcache.

Easy to use

  • Ready to use: You can use the service immediately after purchase, which facilitates rapid deployment of your business.

  • Compatible with open-source Memcache: Compatible with the Memcache binary protocol. Clients (binary SASL) that comply with this protocol can connect to ApsaraDB for Memcache.

  • Visualization management and monitoring panel: The console provides multiple monitoring statistics information, making it convenient for users to manage Memcache instances.

Cluster feature

Supports ultra-large capacity and ultra-high performance. By default, the cluster feature is enabled to provide ultra-large cluster instance types that can meet requirements for large capacity and high performance.

Elastic scaling

  • One-click storage capacity scaling: You can adjust the storage capacity of instances through the console based on business requirements.

  • Online scaling without service interruption: You can adjust instance storage capacity online without stopping the service. However, during the upgrade or downgrade process, the instance will experience a transient connection lasting seconds. You should perform the upgrade or downgrade operation during off-peak hours and ensure that your application has an automatic reconnection mechanism.

Resource isolation

Instance-level resource isolation provides better stability for individual user services.

Security and reliability

  • Supports password authentication to ensure secure and reliable access.

Minute-level monitoring

High availability
