Caches

31 projects

This subcategory covers caching inside a Go process and libraries that front external stores such as Redis or Memcached. In-process caches differ mainly in eviction policy (LRU, LFU, TinyLFU and variants), whether entries expire by time, how they behave under heavy concurrency, and how they limit garbage collector pressure when holding millions of entries.

ristretto from Dgraph uses an admission policy and cost-based eviction, and maypok86/otter is a newer lock-free cache built around generics that publishes its own comparisons with ristretto. theine is another generic cache with proactive expiration. allegro/bigcache and VictoriaMetrics' fastcache store byte slices in large preallocated buffers so the garbage collector does not scan each entry, which suits large caches of serialized values. jellydator/ttlcache is a simple generic cache with expiration. golang/groupcache fills a distributed cache across peers but has no expiration or deletion and has been quiet since 2024. eko/gocache chains memory, Redis and other stores behind one interface, and sturdyc adds request coalescing and background refresh.

For most services, a generic in-memory cache like otter, theine or ttlcache is enough. Choose bigcache or fastcache when entries are already []byte and the cache is large. Add a shared store such as Redis when several instances must see the same data, and always protect expensive loads from stampedes by coalescing duplicate requests.
