Libraries

⚠️ Please note that these libraries are benchmarked against storage of sample payloads (i.e. 1, 5, and 10 KB). You are encouraged to benchmark with your custom payloads.

• akyoto/cache - Cache arbitrary data with an expiration time.
• allegro/bigcache - Efficient cache for gigabytes of data written in Go.
• bluele/gcache - An in-memory cache library for golang. It supports multiple eviction policies: LRU, LFU, ARC.
• coocood/freecache - A cache library for Go with zero GC overhead.
• dgraph-io/ristretto - A high performance memory-bound Go cache.
• floatdrop/2q - Thread safe GoLang 2Q cache.
• floatdrop/lru - Thread safe GoLang LRU cache
• floatdrop/slru - Thread safe GoLang S(2)LRU cache.
• hashicorp/golang-lru - Golang LRU cache
• jellydator/ttlcache - An in-memory cache with item expiration and generics
• koding/cache - Caching package for Go
• irr123/wtfcache - Threadsafe cache with generic interface
• muesli/cache2go - Concurrency-safe Go caching library with expiration capabilities and access counters.
• patrickmn/go-cache - An in-memory key:value store/cache (similar to Memcached) library for Go, suitable for single-machine applications.
• sync#Map - Safe for concurrent use by multiple goroutine without additional locking or coordination. Loads, stores, and deletes run in amortized constant time.
• VictoriaMetrics/fastcache - Fast thread-safe in memory cache for big number of entries in Go. Minimizes GC overhead.
