About Kyoto Tycoon
Kyoto Tycoon is a lightweight network server on top of the Kyoto Cabinet key-value database, built for high-performance and concurrency. Some of its features include. It has its own fully-featured protocol based on HTTP and a (limited) binary protocol for even better performance. There are several client libraries implementing them for multiple languages (we're maintaining one for Python here). It can also be configured with simultaneous support for the memcached protocol, with some limitations on available data update commands. This is useful if you wish to replace memcached in larger-than-memory/persistency scenarios. Here you can find improved versions of the latest available upstream releases, intended to be used together and tested in real-world production environments. The changes include bug fixes, minor new features and packaging for a few Linux distributions.
