CacheForge | Shyam

Overview

CacheForge is an in-memory caching library for Rust applications. It features TTL-based expiration, LRU eviction policies, and an async-first API built on Tokio.

Design Goals

Zero-copy reads where possible
Lock-free concurrent access using DashMap
Configurable eviction policies (LRU, LFU, TTL)
Async-native API for Tokio-based applications
Metrics and introspection for debugging

let cache = CacheForge::builder()
    .max_capacity(10_000)
    .ttl(Duration::from_secs(300))
    .eviction(EvictionPolicy::Lru)
    .build();

cache.insert("key", value).await;
let result = cache.get("key").await;
