DiskCache: Disk Backed Cache

DiskCache is an Apache2 licensed disk and file backed cache library, written in pure-Python, and compatible with Django.

The cloud-based computing of 2018 puts a premium on memory. Gigabytes of empty space is left on disks as processes vie for memory. Among these processes is Memcached (and sometimes Redis) which is used as a cache. Wouldn’t it be nice to leverage empty disk space for caching?

Django is Python’s most popular web framework and ships with several caching backends. Unfortunately the file-based cache in Django is essentially broken. The culling method is random and large caches repeatedly scan a cache directory which slows linearly with growth. Can you really allow it to take sixty milliseconds to store a key in a cache with a thousand items?

In Python, we can do better. And we can do it in pure-Python!

 
   In [1]: import pylibmc In [2]: client = pylibmc.Client(['127.0.0.1'], binary=True) In [3]: client[b'key'] = b'value' In [4]: %timeit client[b'key'] 10000 loops, best of 3: 25.4 µs per loop In [5]: import diskcache as dc In [6]: cache = dc.Cache('tmp') In [7]: cache[b'key'] = b'value' In [8]: %timeit cache[b'key'] 100000 loops, best of 3: 11.8 µs per loop  
  

Note: Micro-benchmarks have their place but are not a substitute for real measurements. DiskCache offers cache benchmarks to defend its performance claims. Micro-optimizations are avoided but your mileage may vary.

DiskCache efficiently makes gigabytes of storage space available for caching. By leveraging rock-solid database libraries and memory-mapped files, cache performance can match and exceed industry-standard solutions. There’s no need for a C compiler or running another process. Performance is a feature and testing has 100% coverage with unit tests and hours of stress.

Quickstart

Installing DiskCache is simple with pip:

$ pip install diskcache

You can access documentation in the interpreter with Python’s built-in help function:

 
    >>> from diskcache import Cache, FanoutCache, DjangoCache >>> help(Cache) >>> help(FanoutCache) >>> help(DjangoCache)
