High-density multi-tenant distributed cache as a service

A system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
• receive a request to create a new multi-tenant cache on a cloud computing system for an application, the cloud computing system comprising a cache cluster to host the new multi-tenant cache, wherein the cache cluster comprises a plurality of gateway nodes and a plurality of cache servers;
• provision an access control endpoint associated with a reserved space on one or more cache servers from the plurality of cache servers;
• provide a shared key and the access control endpoint to a client device;
• provide a private version of the shared key to a gateway node from the plurality of gateway nodes;
• and
• in response to the application passing the shared key as an input, grant access to the reserved space via the gateway node having the private version of the shared key thereon.
