Memcached is a high-performance, distributed memory caching system designed to speed up dynamic web applications by alleviating database load. It is widely used to enhance the performance of web-based applications by caching data and objects in RAM to reduce the number of times an external data source (such as a database or API) must be read. This article will guide you through the process of installing Memcached on your server and integrating it with PHP.

After installing php8.2 with nginx you might install the main memcached and the memcached for PHP.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install memcached
sudo apt-get install php8.2-memcached

Conclusion: You have successfully installed and configured Memcached with PHP. Memcached is a powerful tool for improving the performance of your PHP applications. It’s easy to set up and integrate, and it can significantly reduce the load on your database by caching frequently accessed data.

Additional Tips:

Regularly monitor your Memcached usage.
Secure your Memcached server, especially if it’s on a public network.
