go-mcache
A high-throughput, sharded in-memory key-value cache for Go with TinyLFU admission, lock-free reads, and zero allocations.
What is go-mcache?
go-mcache is a high-performance, generic in-memory key-value cache library for Go. It solves the problem of efficient data caching in concurrent applications by combining TinyLFU admission control with a sharded, lock-free architecture to maximize hit ratios and throughput while minimizing allocations.
Go developers building high-concurrency services, such as web servers, APIs, or real-time systems, that require fast, scalable in-memory caching with intelligent eviction policies.
Developers choose go-mcache for its lock-free read path, TinyLFU-based admission control, and sharded design, which together provide superior performance and hit ratios compared to simpler LRU caches, especially under skewed access patterns.
