Fast, light-weight proxy for memcached and redis
nutcracker [options]
nutcracker, also known as twemproxy (pronounced "two-em-proxy"), is a fast and lightweight proxy for the memcached and Redis protocols.
It was primarily built to reduce the connection count on backend caching servers, but it has a number of features, such as:
Maintains persistent server connections to backend servers.
Enables pipelining of requests and responses.
Supports multiple server pools simultaneously.
Shard data automatically across multiple servers.
Supports multiple hashing modes including consistent hashing and distribution.
High-availability by disabling nodes on failures.
Observability through stats exposed on stats monitoring port.
