Pogocache is the open-source fast caching software built from scratch that is optimized for low latency and CPU scalability/efficiency. Pogocache claims to [1]outperform Memcached, Valkey, Redis, and other alternatives . Out today is Pogocache 1.2 as the newest feature release for this fast cache.

Pogocache 1.2 adds optional jemalloc support for those wanting to build with that performant memory allocator. Microsoft's [2]mimalloc general purpose allocator is also now supported as the default allocator. Mimalloc is said to provide "excellent" performance for both single and multi-threaded scenarios.

Pogocache 1.2 also adds support for static musl libc builds, MONITOR command support, and now defaults to 4096 shards for all thread counts. Previously, Pogocache determined the shard count dynamically based on the number of CPU threads.

Here are the latest performance claims of the Pogocache benchmarks from the project itself:
