Multi-Layered Caching with Decorators in Elixir: Optimizing Performance and Scalability

1. cachex

   1 5 1,694 8.6 Elixir

   A powerful caching library for Elixir with support for transactions, fallbacks and expirations

   

   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.

4. nebulex_redis_adapter

   3 1 33 4.8 Elixir

   Nebulex adapter for Redis

   

   Nebulex also supports various caching patterns out of the box. While setting up the Redis adapter for Nebulex, I encountered a blocker issue with Upstash Redis, revealing another limitation. Despite this, the exploration provided insights on constructing a layered caching solution using decorators a approach Nebulex uses.

5. decorator

   4 2 400 0.0 Elixir

   Function decorators for Elixir

   

   Using Elixir's decorator library it as simple as writing it as such
