Minimemcached

Go Reference Test

Minimemcached is a Memcached server for written in Go, aimed for unittests in Go projects.

When you have to test codes that use Memcached server, running actual Memcached server instance could be quite expensive, depending on your environment.

Minimemcached aims to solve this problem by implementing Memcached's TCP interface 100% in Go, and works perfectly well with gomemcache, a memcache client for Go.

Implemented commands

  • get
  • gets
  • cas
  • set
  • touch
  • add
  • replace
  • append
  • prepend
  • delete
  • incr
  • decr
  • flush_all
  • version

Setup

  • To use Minimemcached, you can import it as below. You can also view example code.
package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/bradfitz/gomemcache/memcache"

	"github.com/daangn/minimemcached"
)

func main() {
	cfg := &minimemcached.Config{
		Port: 8080,
	}
	m, err := minimemcached.Run(cfg)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println("failed to start mini-memcached server.")
		return
	}

	defer m.Close()

	fmt.Println("mini-memcached started")

	mc := memcache.New(fmt.Sprintf("localhost:%d", m.Port()))
	err = mc.Set(&memcache.Item{Key: "foo", Value: []byte("my value"), Expiration: int32(60)})
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Printf("err(set): %v\n", err)
	}

	it, err := mc.Get("foo")
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Printf("err(get): %v\n", err)
	} else {
		fmt.Printf("key: %s, value: %s\n", it.Key, it.Value)
		fmt.Printf("value: %s\n", string(it.Value))
	}
}

Benchmarks

  • Running same test cases on memcached server on a docker and minimemcached, minimemcached outperformed memcached running on docker container.
  • You can run this benchmark yourself. Check here.
Benchmark Environment

  • goos: darwin
  • goarch: arm64
  • memcached docker image: memcached:1.5.16
