whitfin/cachex

Cachex is an in-memory key-value caching library for Elixir that manages data storage using Erlang's ETS. It provides a modular architecture with dedicated services for concurrency, expiration, and routing across distributed nodes. The system supports various eviction policies and routing strategies, ensuring consistent and reliable cache operations.

This period marks the introduction of the Cachex in-memory cache library, featuring a comprehensive public API backed by ETS. The codebase underwent significant architectural refactoring to separate concerns into dedicated modules for actions, hooks, and routing, while simultaneously establishing a robust test suite to validate the new functionality.

The codebase underwent a significant architectural shift to a service-based model, replacing a monolithic process structure with dedicated GenServer processes for cache management, locking, and notifications. This period also introduced a new specification validator to enforce runtime type checking and added comprehensive test coverage for these new components.

This period focused on expanding the library's capabilities by introducing four new cache routing strategies and three cache limit policies. The work included implementing the routing and limit modules, adding comprehensive test coverage, and updating the benchmarking suite to use the Benchee library.
