READYSET

ReadySet is a transparent database cache for Postgres and MySQL. It provides the performance and scalability of an in-memory key-value store without requiring users to rewrite their apps or manually handle cache invalidation. ReadySet can turn even the most complex SQL reads into lightning-fast lookups. It keeps cached query results in sync with databases automatically by utilizing the database's replication stream. ReadySet can be used along with an existing ORM or database client.
