Dalli is a high-performance pure Ruby client for accessing memcached servers. It supports failover, namespaces, thread-safe operation, SSL/TLS, and automatic OpenTelemetry tracing.

Use cases

  • connect to memcached from a Ruby application
  • cache data in a Rails app with memcached
  • add failover between multiple memcached instances
  • use SSL/TLS connections to memcached
  • instrument cache operations with OpenTelemetry tracing
  • partition cache keys with namespaces per tenant

When to choose

  • you need a mature, actively maintained memcached client for Ruby
  • you require thread-safe caching with connection pooling
  • you need TLS or distributed tracing for your cache layer

When to avoid

  • you use Redis instead of memcached
  • you are on Ruby older than 3.3 or memcached older than 1.6.27
  • you need a language other than Ruby
