Garner
A Ruby and Rack cache layer with model binding and hierarchical invalidation for application logic caching.
What is Garner?
Garner is a cache layer for Ruby and Rack applications that implements various caching strategies with a focus on model binding and hierarchical invalidation. It solves the problem of manual cache management by automatically invalidating cached results when bound model instances or classes change, ensuring data consistency. The library gathers data from multiple sources and makes it readily available through a unified caching interface.
Ruby developers building Rack-based web applications, especially those using Mongoid or ActiveRecord ORMs, who need efficient and automated caching solutions to improve performance and reduce database load.
Developers choose Garner for its seamless integration with Ruby ORMs, automatic cache invalidation through model bindings, and pluggable strategies that allow customization without sacrificing simplicity. It reduces boilerplate code by handling cache key generation and invalidation logic out-of-the-box.
