IBM Data Store for Memcache Client

Description

IBM Data Store for Memcache Service provides a managed memcache service in the IBM Cloud that provides Non-Volatile Memory-based object caching to accelerate cloud applications. Cloud applications extensively use DRAM-based caching solutions, like Memcached, to accelerate their workloads (e.g., drupal, wikipedia, reddit, etc., transparently use memcache). Data Store for Memcache replaces DRAM with modern NVM storage for caching using the same memcache API, offering orders of magnitude higher capacity, at a lower cost, while maintaining performance.

API

Data Store for Memcache implements the ascii memcache protocol.

Usage

Install dependencies

On Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install python-pip stunnel4 -y
pip install -r requirements.txt

On Mac:

brew install stunnel
pip install -r requirements.txt

Run client setup script

You'll need an IBM cloud api key to use the setup script. The service instance crn should be provided at your Data Store for Memcache service instance's dashboard.

python python/client.py --apikey <your-ibm-cloud-api-key> --instance_crn <your-service-instance-crn>
