- Supports complex data types like strings, lists, sets, and hashes, with Lua scripting for custom operations.
- Includes security features like token-based authentication and rate limiting.
- Provides built-in monitoring, health checks, and YAML-based configuration management.
- Performance benchmarks show BoltCache outperforming Redis in operations per second and memory usage.
- Easy to deploy with Docker and Kubernetes, and supports clustering for high availability.
- Comes with a comprehensive RESTful API for cache operations, list, set, hash manipulations, and Pub/Sub messaging.
- Includes development tools like a web client, Postman collection, and cURL scripts for testing.
