CerealDb - A PHP Key store without a database or memcache.

• jameskilton 16y ago
  Aren't the main reasons people use tools like memcache and redis that: 1) It's freakin fast and 2) it's distributed? This is neither. Writing straight to the file system is very slow, and it writes to the file system (which, btw is a database... look it up: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/database http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/database) which is the antithesis of distributed. Yeah, you can put it on a NAS but you just made point #1 many times worse. What's the point of this?

    It's for a server that couldn't run redis/memcache and barely has enough memory to run mysql. As I said on the blog: "if you can use memcache, do so, this was something I put together to use on a system in which I couldn’t use memcache. A simpler file cache may have been more appropriate, but I prefer that all my key values stay in one file."
