README

Dalli [![Tests](https://github.com/petergoldstein/dalli/actions/workflows/tests.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/petergoldstein/dalli/actions/workflows/tests.yml)
=====

Dalli is a high performance pure Ruby client for accessing memcached servers.

Dalli supports:

* Simple and complex memcached configurations
* Failover between memcached instances
* Fine-grained control of data serialization and compression
* Thread-safe operation (either through use of a connection pool, or by using the Dalli client in threadsafe mode)
* SSL/TLS connections to memcached
* SASL authentication

The name is a variant of Salvador Dali for his famous painting [The Persistence of Memory](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Persistence_of_Memory).
