Followed the guide exactly for the custom provider and get this error:

Error: Could not load REST Cache provider "../custom-rest-cache-provider/index.js". You may need to install a provider plugin "yarn add strapi-provider-rest-cache-../custom-rest-cache-provider/index.js".

This is because this fragment in bootstrap.js:

  let modulePath;
  try {
    modulePath = require.resolve(`strapi-provider-rest-cache-${providerName}`);
  } catch (error) {
    if (error.code === 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND') {
      modulePath = providerName;
    } else {
      throw error;
    }
  }

  try {
    // eslint-disable-next-line
    provider = require(modulePath);
  } catch (err) {
    throw new Error(
      `Could not load REST Cache provider "${providerName}". You may need to install a provider plugin "yarn add strapi-provider-rest-cache-${providerName}".`
    );
  }

I do not understand why require in second try does not see local reference. I worked it around by creating my own package called strapi-provider-rest-cache-memcached and installed it with:
yarn add file:./packages/strapi-provider-rest-cache-memcached
