Project Description

MemPowered, a Powershell memcached client. This software is a Powershell v2.0 module which can communicate with a memcached cluster.

It was created mainly for educational purposes for .NET developers using memcached as a distributed cache.

What does it do?

MemPowered is simply a Powershell 2.0 module that can interact with a memcached cluster. Memcached "is a high-performance, distributed memory object caching system, generic in nature, but intended for use in speeding up dynamic web applications by alleviating database load."

LearnMemPowered builds on top of MemPowered and is a module which provides some helper functions to learn about memcached. It includes a memcached port to Windows so that once the module is installed, it is ready to use.

Why should you use it?

To learn about memcached. Most developers understand caching and most understand hashtables. But not as many understand distributed caching and memcached, arguably one of the largest distributed caches in use (check this out if you don't believe me).

How does it work?

• Enyim Memcached Library is used by MemPowered
• JellyCan Memcached Windows Port is used by LearnMemPowered
