go-cache is an in-memory key:value store/cache similar to memcached that is
suitable for applications running on a single machine. Any object can be stored,
for a given duration or forever, and the cache can be safely used by multiple
goroutines.
suitable for applications running on a single machine. Its major advantage is
that, being essentially a thread-safe map[string]interface{} with expiration
times, it doesn't need to serialize or transmit its contents over the network.
Any object can be stored, for a given duration or forever, and the cache can be
safely used by multiple goroutines.
Although go-cache isn't meant to be used as a persistent datastore, the entire
cache may be saved to and loaded from a file (or any io.Reader/Writer) to recover
from downtime quickly.
