Description-en: APC User Cache for PHP
The APCu is userland caching: APC (Alternative PHP Cache) stripped of
opcode caching after the deployment of Zend OpCache in PHP 5.5 as the
primary solution to opcode caching in future versions of PHP.
.
The APCu is a fast solution for userland caching (and dumping) of PHP
variables locally, it is not distributed like MemcacheD, but they can
be used together for optimal caching.
