Multi-Layered Caching with Decorators in Elixir: Optimizing Performance and Scalability
Cachex, the most popular Elixir caching library, offers a clustered cache option but lacks support for dynamic node configuration. This limitation becomes evident in environments like Fly.io, where nodes scale dynamically and their addresses aren’t known at startup. Engaging with the Fly.io community led me to an open issue on Cachex’s GitHub regarding dynamic node configuration. This search introduced me to Nebulex, a feature-rich library supporting multiple cache stores, including Cachex and Redis.
