What is otter?
Otter is a high-performance, in-memory caching library for Go that provides adaptive eviction policies, low memory overhead, and excellent throughput under contention. It solves the problem of efficient data caching in Go applications by implementing advanced algorithms like W-TinyLFU and automatic configuration based on workload patterns.
Go developers building applications that require efficient in-memory caching, such as web servers, APIs, real-time systems, or data-intensive services where performance and low latency are critical.
Developers choose Otter for its combination of high hit rates, excellent throughput, and minimal memory overhead, along with a flexible and configurable API that supports features like automatic loading, asynchronous refresh, and persistence without sacrificing performance.
