## What it is
Cacheable is a maintained monorepo of Node.js caching packages built on Keyv, including layered (Layer 1/Layer 2) caching, an HTTP request cache with RFC 7234 semantics, in-memory and file-backed caches, and a cache manager. It offers TTL, LRU eviction, memoization, statistics, and distributed sync across multiple stores.

## Use cases
- cache api responses in a nodejs service
- add layered memory and redis caching to an app
- wrap http requests with rfc-compliant caching
- replace the unmaintained node-cache package
- cache file metadata so only changed files are reprocessed
- memoize expensive async function calls
- persist an in-memory cache to disk

## When to choose
- you need a maintained, feature-rich caching layer for Node.js
- you want multi-tier caching combining memory with Redis or other Keyv stores
- you need HTTP caching semantics for outbound requests
- you are migrating from node-cache or cache-manager and want active maintenance

## When to avoid
- you are not on Node.js or a JavaScript runtime
- you need caching for a non-JavaScript backend like Go, Rust, or Python
- you want a fully managed cloud caching service rather than a library

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: caching, http-client, serialization
- domain: backend, web-development, developer-tools, performance
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: keyv, layered-caching, lru, ttl, memoization, http-cache, redis, monorepo, typescript, nodejs
