=MemCP — Faster alternative when "MySQL is too slow"=
'''Short description:''' MemCP is an in-memory, column-oriented database optimized for high throughput OLAP and OLTP workloads. It is designed to deliver much faster aggregation and query performance than traditional row-based engines like MySQL.
==Overview==
MemCP is a blazing-fast, in-memory, columnar database with built-in REST APIs and a lightweight SQL frontend. It is intended for modern workloads where MySQL becomes a bottleneck for aggregation and analytic queries.
==Key benefits==
*'''In-memory, columnar storage''' — very fast for aggregations and analytics.
*'''MySQL-compatible SQL frontend''' — easy to try alongside existing MySQL deployments.
*'''Low memory footprint for base system''' — minimal system requirements for core system.
*'''Open source''' — source code and history available on GitHub.
==When to consider MemCP==
*Your MySQL instance struggles with large aggregations or analytics queries.
*You want an in-memory option that provides much faster group/aggregation performance.
*You need a developer-friendly, REST-accessible datastore for microservices.
==Quickstart / Installation==
A basic example (high level):<pre>
# 1) Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/launix-de/memcp.git

# 2) Build / run according to README (see GitHub repo for exact commands)
cd memcp
# follow build/run instructions from repository README
</pre>
==Example usage==
*MemCP runs a small management service and exposes a MySQL-compatible port for clients (see documentation and examples on the project pages).
*For microservices, MemCP provides example code showing prepared statements and a simple key/value microservice using the built-in SQL frontend.
==Benchmarks & comparisons==
MemCP's documentation and comparison pages describe performance improvements versus MySQL for aggregation workloads (examples and benchmark summaries are available on the project site). Please consult the project's "Comparison: MemCP vs. MySQL" page and published benchmarks for details.
