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.

    What are some alternatives to Event Store and Memcached?
    Kafka
    Kafka is a distributed, partitioned, replicated commit log service. It provides the functionality of a messaging system, but with a unique design.
    MongoDB
    MongoDB stores data in JSON-like documents that can vary in structure, offering a dynamic, flexible schema. MongoDB was also designed for high availability and scalability, with built-in replication and auto-sharding.
    Cassandra
    Partitioning means that Cassandra can distribute your data across multiple machines in an application-transparent matter. Cassandra will automatically repartition as machines are added and removed from the cluster. Row store means that like relational databases, Cassandra organizes data by rows and columns. The Cassandra Query Language (CQL) is a close relative of SQL.
    RabbitMQ
    RabbitMQ gives your applications a common platform to send and receive messages, and your messages a safe place to live until received.
    MySQL
    The MySQL software delivers a very fast, multi-threaded, multi-user, and robust SQL (Structured Query Language) database server. MySQL Server is intended for mission-critical, heavy-load production systems as well as for embedding into mass-deployed software.
