🆚 Memcached vs. Microsoft SQL Server

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.

Microsoft SQL Server is a relational database management system developed by Microsoft.

It supports Transact-SQL (T-SQL) as its query language, runs on both Windows and Linux platforms, includes features such as Always On Availability Groups, in-memory OLTP, Transparent Data Encryption, and row-level security.
