aiocache is an asyncio cache library for Python supporting multiple backends including memory, Redis, and Memcached. It provides a uniform minimal interface (get, set, multi_get, delete, etc.) plus a decorator for caching async function results.

Use cases

• cache async function results in python with a decorator
• add redis caching to an asyncio web app
• swap cache backends between memory, redis, and memcached
• store python objects in redis with pickle or msgpack serializers
• implement ttl-based caching for expensive async calls
• share cached data across processes via memcached

When to choose

• you need caching in asyncio-based python applications
• you want a single API across multiple cache backends
• you want decorator-based memoization of async functions

When to avoid

• your code is synchronous and not asyncio-based
• you need advanced cache features like eviction policies or distributed locking
• you use a framework with its own built-in cache abstraction
