whitfin/cachex

Cachex is an Elixir library for in-memory caching, providing a robust API for storing, retrieving, and managing data in memory. It supports distributed caching through various routing strategies and offers flexible eviction policies to manage memory usage. The system includes comprehensive tooling for code quality, performance benchmarking, and automated documentation generation.

This period focused on a comprehensive refactoring of the Cachex library, reorganizing its internal architecture into modular service and action components. The work included updating dependencies, enforcing code quality standards, and adding extensive test coverage for the new structure.

8 changes

The project refactored cache management into distinct service modules, each handling specific operations like locking, warming, and expiration. This restructuring was accompanied by comprehensive test coverage and the introduction of a runtime specification validator to ensure data integrity and improve concurrency.

This period focused on expanding the library's capabilities for distributed caching by introducing multiple router implementations, including consistent hash rings with dynamic node monitoring. It also added flexible cache eviction policies, such as LRU and LRW strategies, alongside comprehensive test coverage and automated documentation generation.
