Pogocache 1.0 was released today as a fast open-source caching software that aims for low latency and great CPU efficiency. Pogocache supports Memcache / Valkey / Redis / HTTP / Postgres wire protocols while claiming to offer much better throughput and lower latency than these caching alternatives.
Pogocache 1.0 is open-source under an AGPLv3 license and claims to outperform the likes of Memcache, Garnet, Dragonfly, Valkey, and Redis. Here are some of the Pogocache benchmarks claimed by its developer:
Released today was Pogocache 1.0 as the first release for this caching software built from scratch and written in C. Those wanting to learn more about Pogocache can do so via the project’s GitHub. It will be interesting to see how these performance claims stack up as the project matures and ultimately how successful it is with time to the likes of Memcached and Valkey/Redis.
