Mcrouter
########

Mcrouter is a memcached protocol router for scaling Memcached deployments. It
is a core component of cache infrastructure at Facebook and Instagram where
Mcrouter handles almost 5 billion requests per second at peak.

Architecture
************

This resource creates a ``Deployment`` with a hard coded replica count of two
which hosts two identical instances of ``mcrouter`` for redundancy purposes.

It also exposes a ``Service`` resource which points at the two ``mcrouter``
instances running.
