Benefits

Ready to use out of the box

Start using the service immediately after purchase—no setup or provisioning delay. The service is compatible with the Memcache binary protocol, so any client that supports binary SASL authentication can connect.

The console provides a monitoring panel with built-in statistics, giving you a central place to manage your instances and track usage at a glance.

Built-in cluster support

The cluster feature is enabled by default, providing ultra-large cluster instance types that handle high-capacity and high-throughput workloads without manual configuration.

Elastic scaling without downtime

Adjust storage capacity through the console with a single click, based on your current business requirements. Scaling happens online—no need to stop the service.

During an upgrade or downgrade, the instance experiences a transient connection lasting seconds. Schedule scaling operations during off-peak hours, and make sure your application implements an automatic reconnection mechanism before proceeding.

Instance-level resource isolation

Each instance runs with dedicated resources. This isolation provides consistent stability for your service.

Secure access

ApsaraDB for Memcache supports password authentication, ensuring that only authorized clients can connect to your instances.

Minute-level monitoring

The service provides minute-level historical monitoring powered by the Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) engine. Monitoring covers various data structures and interfaces, giving you full visibility into instance activity.

High availability

Each instance runs with primary and secondary nodes, eliminating single points of failure. Hardware failures are detected automatically, and the service recovers within seconds through node switching.
