Cache

This repository contains the cache package, a Go package that provides a high-level interface to cache operations used in the ShortLink project. This package leverages go-redis/cache to provide a comprehensive caching solution that includes both local and Redis-based caching.

Getting Started

This package is designed to be imported and used in other Go applications.

import (
	"github.com/go-redis/cache/v9"

	"github.com/shortlink-org/shortlink/pkg/cache"
)

Features

• Easy interface to handle cache operations such as Set, SetXX, SetNX, Get, and Del.
• Uses a hybrid local and Redis-based caching system for enhanced performance and scalability.
• Uses TinyLFU (Least Frequently Used) algorithm for local cache eviction strategy.

Usage

Initialization

To create a new instance of the cache client, use the New function:

ctx := context.Background()
cacheClient, err := cache.New(ctx)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

Setting Values

You can add values to the cache using the Set, SetXX, or SetNX functions:

key := "myKey"
value := "myValue"

err := cacheClient.Set(ctx, cache.Item{
  Key:   key,
  Value: value,
})

Getting Values

Retrieve values from the cache using the Get function:

key := "myKey"
resp := cache2.Item{}
err := cacheClient.Get(ctx, key, &resp)

Deleting Values

You can delete one or more values from the cache using the Del function:

err := cacheClient.Delete(ctx, "key1")

Requirements

This package requires Go 1.18 or later. The Go-Redis/Cache and Rueidis libraries are required and will be installed when you install the package.
