hitbox
A highly customizable async caching framework for Rust with Tower middleware, stale-while-revalidate, dogpile prevention, and pluggable backends.
What is hitbox?
Hitbox is an async caching framework for Rust designed for high-performance applications. It provides a protocol-agnostic core with first-class HTTP support, allowing developers to implement caching as middleware or via function memoization. The framework solves common caching challenges like dogpile effects and stale data by offering features like stale-while-revalidate and configurable concurrency limits.
Rust developers building high-performance web services or applications that require efficient caching, especially those using Tower-based frameworks like Axum or working with distributed systems.
Developers choose Hitbox for its extensibility, performance, and built-in optimizations. It offers a platform approach where new integrations automatically inherit advanced features like dogpile prevention and multi-layer caching, eliminating the need to re-implement these mechanisms for each project.
