    In-process caching may be implemented in a Node.js application through libraries, such as node-cache, memory-cache, api-cache, and others. There is a wide variety of distributed caching solutions, but the most popular ones are Redis and Memcached. They are both in-memory key-value stores and optimal for read-heavy workloads or compute-intensive workloads due to their use of memory rather than the slower on-disk storage mechanisms found in traditional database systems.

    If you're looking for a caching library, there are several of them in every language I've ever used. For example, in Node node-cache is very popular (https://github.com/node-cache/node-cache). Every language I've ever worked in has a few of these. They tend to have a pretty similar basic feature set, and they all have at least the same functions that you defined in your project.
