nuster can be used as a RESTful NoSQL cache server, using HTTP POST/GET/DELETE to set/get/delete Key/Value object.

It can be used as an internal NoSQL cache sits between your application and database like Memcached or Redis as well as a user facing NoSQL cache that sits between end user and your application. It supports headers, cookies, so you can store per-user data to same endpoint.

  • All features from HAProxy(HTTPS, HTTP/2, ACL, etc)
  • Conditional cache
  • Internal KV cache
  • User facing RESTful cache
  • Support any kind of data
  • Support all programming languages as long as HTTP is supported
