Pogocache 1.0 was released today as a fast open-source caching software that aims for low latency and great CPU efficiency. Pogocache supports Memcache / Valkey / Redis / HTTP / Postgres wire protocols while claiming to offer much better throughput and lower latency than these caching alternatives.

Pogocache 1.0 is open-source under an AGPLv3 license and claims to outperform the likes of Memcache, Garnet, Dragonfly, Valkey, and Redis. Here are some of the Pogocache benchmarks claimed by its developer:

Released today was [1]Pogocache 1.0 as the first release for this caching software built from scratch and written in C. Those wanting to learn more about Pogocache can do so via the project's [2]GitHub . It will be interesting to see how these performance claims stack up as the project matures and ultimately how successful it is with time to the likes of Memcached and Valkey/Redis.
