Show HN: Pogocache – Fast caching software (github.com)

Very interesting. Like the idea of using http, redis, or even PostgreSQL clients.

Is there a way to provide the auth password via an envar instead of a command line arg?

    pogocache --auth mypass

very nice

Always great to see his open-source creations, like:

- a Redis like cache purpose built for real-time spatial locations: https://tile38.com/

- go package for reading JSON: https://github.com/tidwall/gjson

Really looks fascinating.. Might need a deeper dive.

Also.. like, it says that you plan on supporting sql? is this true? What does that actually mean really since I guess it might then compete with things like sqlite/duckdb?

Genuinely curious, great project! Starred!

The README doesn’t seem to explain _why_ it is faster. Is it just highly hand-optimized? Is there some main technique used?

Is the name related to Tadej Pogacar?

Supporting HTTP, Redis and PostgreSQL protocols at the same time is a neat trick!

  psql -h localhost -p 9401
  => SET mykey 'my value';
  => GET mykey;
  => DEL mykey;

I thought I recognized the tidwall name - Josh is also responsible for tg which is a really neat, very tight C geospatial library: https://github.com/tidwall/tg

Congrats on launching! Was following along with the development, glad to see it launched

Congrats! Would you mind sharing what part of the design makes this faster than the competitors?

Always excited to see Josh's projects - last time I played with uhaha (loved the name) and it was mind-opening to some extent. Pogocache also looks very interesting and good to see the benchmarks on ARM
