+# Memcached
+
+[memcached](https://www.memcached.org/) is a high-performance, distributed memory object caching system, generic in nature, but originally intended for use in speeding up dynamic web applications by alleviating database load.
+
+You can think of it as a short-term memory for your applications.
+
+## Usage example
