orbis-cache-server

The core distributed backend engine for the Orbis caching ecosystem.

Orbis acts as a high-speed memory layer sitting between your application and database. Built from the ground up for enterprise-grade reliability, it dramatically reduces database load by caching heavy query results, session data, and API responses in a highly available, distributed cluster.

Features

• Zero-Config Setup: Boot up a distributed cache on your local machine instantly.
• Visual Dashboard: Comes with a built-in GUI control center on port 4000 to monitor your cluster.
• Self-Healing: Automatically routes traffic around dead nodes using active heartbeats.
• Horizontal Scaling: Spin up multiple nodes across different ports/machines.

Quick Start

Start the main coordinator server:

npx orbis-cache-server start

(By default, this runs on port 4000. Open http://localhost:4000 in your browser to view the dashboard!)

Advanced Usage

Start an extra storage node and connect it to your coordinator to scale out:

npx orbis-cache-server start-node --coordinator=http://localhost:4000 --port=4001

Secure your cluster with an authentication key:

npx orbis-cache-server start --auth-key=supersecret
