Cachex is a high-performance in-memory caching library for Elixir, offering a robust feature set including expirations, size limits, hooks, fallbacks, async operations, and clustering capabilities. The version 4.x release brought optimized janitor routines, modular streaming and querying, runtime cache warming, size pruning (LRW/LRU), distributed routing mechanisms, and a major documentation overhaul. It integrates seamlessly with Elixir applications via mix dependencies, supports advanced transactional use cases, and includes utilities for distributed node clusters.

Features

  • Time‑based key expirations and proactive janitor cleanup
  • Configurable maximum size with LRW/LRU pruning support
  • Pre‑/post‑execution hooks, asynchronous writes, cache warming
  • Transactions, row locking, and fallback functions
  • Distributed caching across Erlang/Elixir nodes via configurable routers
  • Plug‑and‑play monitoring with statistics and streaming queries
