Memcached

Server NGINX

Hi:

Have anyone used the thirdparty “memc-nginx-module” module for the
memcached
operation. I am interested for a memcached module. So, I am evaluating
which one to use and their differences and the stability.

I also came across another third party module
ngx_http_enhanced_memcached_module .

Can anyone suggest me a suitable memcached module which is used in
production sites?

Many thanks…

Santos

There is an official memcached module:

As the author of the ngx_memc module, I know a lot of people have been
using ngx_memc in production for years. I’ve also been running
ngx_memc’s comprehensive test suite frequently against the latest
nginx releases with various different testing modes (valgrind,
mockegain, hup reload, and etc) on my Amazon EC2 test cluster for
long: http://qa.openresty.org

This module is also well supported on the openresty-en mailing list:

I won’t agree with the “little more features” statement. The standard
ngx_memcached module only supports the memcached “get” command while
ngx_memc supports way more commands like “set”, “add”, “replace”,
“append”, “prepend”, “delete”, “incr”, “decr”, “flush_all”, “stats”,
and “version”. See
GitHub - openresty/memc-nginx-module: An extended version of the standard memcached module that supports set, add, delete, and many more memcached commands. for more
details.

Thank you.

I think agentzh’s “memc-nginx-module” module comes with little more
features
than the default “ngx_http_memcached_module” which Valentin suggested.
If I
download nginx, I see the “ngx_http_memcached_module”. So, it is not a
third party module.

I will evaluate and see which one to use.

Thanks.
