Description:

Open-source development has been the single most significant contributor to the development community, and the contributions are used across the IT landscape including corporations, universities, schools, etc. Despite being highly popular, contributing to open-source and navigating open-source systems has always been challenging. Some reasons could be that most open-source developers hold other day jobs, which might also be their regular work.

Memcached is one of the largest commercially and non-commercially used caching systems in the IT world, with a relatively smaller codebase that enables developers to understand the basic skeletal of source code structures while enabling developers to hone their skills towards the development of high-quality production-grade, enterprise-ready open-source software. Most server-based technologies.

Open-source development skills enable developers to understand the intricacies of softwares, enabling robust decision-making while choosing technologies over trends and making mature decisions on a day-to-day development basis. This book is for all programming enthusiasts and is designed to be a Source code 101 level book, but it can help developers elevate to architect-level decision-making as well as architects to make solid software decisions while building the systems.

Programming languages like Python, Lua, C, C++ (compilers), Lua, Rust, database systems, caching systems, web frameworks, and libraries, the availability of open-source code systems has greatly impacted visibility and democratized developer access to enterprise-grade software, resulting in rapid innovation at minimal cost. The impact of open-source software is greater than we can imagine, and the software mentioned here are just the tip of the iceberg.

A programming language contains a parser, symbol table generator, compiler, assembler, and interpreter, to mention a few common phases, along with memory management, thread management, configurations, data structures, and many more. While exploring multiple languages, we can note that the code stages remain almost identical. The parsing is depicted as grammar that is internally a decision tree. It is worth noting that while initial efforts could be needed to understand the working of these systems, the others would soon be a breeze. Although the initial barrier could be high, the commonalities between various systems greatly reduce the time required for understanding other open source systems in the journey.

What you will learn:

- Uncover the secrets of Memcached, a high-performance caching system.
- Learn about security measures safeguarding Memcached's integrity and scalability.
- Understand large-scale use cases of Memcached and how to continue further study of open source systems.
- Students can learn the implementation of most concepts through their journey with a practical approach.

Who this book is for:
This book is designed for software developers, system administrators, and IT professionals who want to delve into the world of Memcached, a high-performance caching system. It is a comprehensive guide to Memcached's architecture, design, and implementation for all programming enthusiasts.
