Spring Boot Memcached Demo in Java

This is an example project showing the usage of Memcached Spring Boot cache library in a Spring Boot Java application. You will have to have Docker and Java 11 installed in order to run this demo.

There is an equivalent demo project written in Kotlin. To see version of this demo in Kotlin go to Spring Boot Memcached Demo in Kotlin.

Testing

To run the application tests execute this command:

./gradlew test

Running

First we have to start the Memcached server. In order to start it run:

docker compose up -d

Now it's time to start the sample Spring Boot application:

./gradlew bootRun

You should now be able to access REST endpoints e.g.

1. GET http://localhost:8080/books (second request is cached response)

2. GET http://localhost:8080/books/Kotlin (second request is cached response)

3. DELETE http://localhost:8080/books/Kotlin (re-cached, next invocation of step 1. request will return list without book with title Kotlin)

To stop and remove the containers, run:

docker compose down
