Readyset Alternative
Cachee vs Readyset:
Cache Everything, Not Just SQL
Readyset caches SQL query results for Postgres and MySQL. Cachee caches everything — API responses, session data, computed results, key-value pairs — at 1.5µs with AI-powered optimization.

Feature Comparison
| Capability | Cachee | Readyset |
|---|
| Cache Hit Latency | 1.5µs (in-process L1) | ~1ms (query proxy) |
| Cache Scope | Any data — KV, JSON, sessions, API, computed | SQL queries only (Postgres/MySQL) |
| Protocol | Full RESP — 133+ Redis commands | Postgres/MySQL wire protocol |
| AI Pre-Warming | Neural pattern prediction | None (materialized views) |
| Cache Hit Rate | 99.05% (AI-driven) | High for supported queries |
| Auto-Invalidation | TTL + pattern-based | Automatic on write (wire protocol) |
| Session Caching | Native RESP protocol | Not supported (SQL-only) |
| API Response Caching | Native (any serializable data) | Not supported |
| Database Support | Any DB (via application logic) | Postgres + MySQL only |
| Operations | 3-min sidecar deploy | Proxy between app and DB (complex) |
| Monitoring | Built-in AI dashboard | Built-in metrics |

Different tools, different scope: Readyset is clever for SQL-heavy workloads — it materializes query results and auto-invalidates on writes. But most modern applications cache more than SQL: API responses, session tokens, computed results, rate limits, feature flags. Cachee handles all of it at 1.5µs with AI-powered optimization.
Using Both — or Just Cachee
Flexible architecture: Use both where it makes sense: Readyset for automatic SQL query caching with write-through invalidation. Cachee for everything else — session state, API responses, computed results, rate limiting, feature flags. Or use Cachee alone with your application's caching logic for a simpler, faster, universal solution.
Cache Everything, Not Just Queries
Deploy Cachee in 3 minutes. Any data type, 1.5µs hits, AI warming. Not limited to SQL.
