Memcached: Encrypt Memcached communications (TLS)

This documentation is part of the Getting started guide. View the full guide here: How to get started with Memcached.

Welcome to the Stackhero documentation

Stackhero provides a fully managed Memcached cloud that makes application caching simple, secure, and high-performing.

• Apply updates in seconds with one click.
• Get consistent performance and strong security on a private, dedicated infrastructure.

Free up your time and focus on building. Stackhero's Memcached cloud hosting is up and running in about 5 minutes.

By default, Memcached does not encrypt communications. However, on Stackhero, TLS encryption is enabled by default.

You will need a client that supports TLS encryption. If your preferred client does not support TLS, you can use stunnel on your client server. Stunnel listens locally on port 11211 (for unencrypted data) and forwards this data to your Stackhero instance over a TLS encrypted connection.
