nuster can also 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 the same endpoint.
Features include:
- All features from HAProxy (HTTPS, HTTP/2, ACL, etc).
- Conditional cache.
- Internal KV cache.
- User facing RESTful cache.
- Support any kind of data.
