Couchcache

A caching service developed in Go. It provides REST APIs to access key-value pairs stored in Couchbase.

You may also consider using couchcache as a mocked service when doing TDD.

To start couchcache

Run couchcache with Couchbase server (host and port) and bucket (name and password) information

./couchcache --host=HOST --port=PORT --bucket=BUCKET --pass=PASS

Example

./couchcache --host=10.99.107.192 --port=8091 --bucket=cachebucket --pass=c@che1t

Default values

host: localhost
port: 8091
bucket: couchcache
pass: password

Cache service endpoint

http://HOST:8080/key/KEY

Examples

http://10.99.107.190:8080/key/customer_555

http://10.99.107.190:8080/key/the_service_i_want_to_mock-endpoint_a, if you're mocking other service's endpoint
