About

Bigtable is a distributed NoSQL key-value and wide-column database designed for low-latency, high-throughput workloads at large scale.

It stores data in sparsely populated tables with automatic sharding and replication, supports single-digit millisecond latency, SSD and HDD storage tiers, continuous backups, and SQL queries through BigQuery integration.

Memcached is an open-source event-based key-value store that keeps data in memory to deliver very low latency access and high throughput.

It can handle over 200,000 operations per second on fast hardware, uses multi-threading to leverage multiple CPU cores, and applies Least Recently Used cache eviction policy when it runs out of memory.
