Caching as a service

Question

Is anyone aware of any caching-as-a-service offerings? Essentially, grab an SDK in your favorite language, an API key, and read and write from the cache service?

Something like:

cache = new Cache;

// read from the cache
cache->get( api_key, cache_key );

// write to the cache
cache->set( api_key, cache_key, data, expiration );

I've searched around and haven't found anything like this. I'm just curious more than anything.

Amazon S3 and a zillion others. Voting to close as not constructive since this is actually a shopping list question. — djechlin, Mar 31 '13 at 14:17

Perhaps memcached will do the trick:

Hi @Marco. You're spot on with the caching concept, but that's not quite what I'm asking. :) What I'm trying to find out is whether or not an online service already exists that supports client caching via an API call. It would most likely be something like an enterprise level paid service. – Spencer Cameron-Morin Mar 29 '13 at 18:50
Ok sorry, well I am not sure if there is one out there already. – MeTitus Mar 29 '13 at 18:52
Ah. Now that fits my description. +1. :) – Spencer Cameron-Morin Mar 29 '13 at 18:56
