Event Store vs Memcached: What are the differences?
Developers describe Event Store as "The open-source, functional database with Complex Event Processing *". It stores your data as a series of immutable events over time, making it easy to build event-sourced applications. It can run as a cluster of nodes containing the same data, which remains available for writes provided at least half the nodes are alive and connected. On the other hand, *Memcached** is detailed as "High-performance, distributed memory object caching system". Memcached is an in-memory key-value store for small chunks of arbitrary data (strings, objects) from results of database calls, API calls, or page rendering.
Event Store and Memcached can be primarily classified as "Databases" tools.
Memcached is an open source tool with 9.11K GitHub stars and 2.61K GitHub forks. Here's a link to Memcached's open source repository on GitHub.
Facebook, Instagram, and Dropbox are some of the popular companies that use Memcached, whereas Event Store is used by Domraider, Industrial Inference, and Gilmond. Memcached has a broader approval, being mentioned in 937 company stacks & 1540 developers stacks; compared to Event Store, which is listed in 9 company stacks and 11 developer stacks.
