bcache
A Go library for creating a distributed in-memory cache with eventual consistency and cache stampede prevention.
What is bcache?
bcache is a Go library for creating a distributed in-memory cache that runs inside your application. It provides eventual consistency across nodes and prevents cache stampede by coordinating cache fills, making it ideal for low-latency caching needs without relying on external cache services.
Go developers building distributed applications that require fast, in-memory caching with synchronization across multiple instances, especially those who want to avoid the network overhead of external caches like Redis.
Developers choose bcache for its simplicity, performance, and ability to eliminate extra network hops by embedding caching directly in the application, while providing robust features like cache stampede prevention and automatic node discovery.
