## What it is
@epic-web/cachified is a TypeScript library that wraps any key-value store to act as a cache with TTL, stale-while-revalidate, parallel fetch protection, and type-safe value validation. It provides a simple, store-agnostic API for caching fresh values in applications.

## Use cases
- add ttl caching to any key-value store
- implement stale-while-revalidate caching
- prevent parallel duplicate fetches
- cache api responses with type safety
- wrap lru cache or redis as a cache layer
- speed up app by caching expensive values

## When to choose
- you want a store-agnostic caching wrapper in TypeScript
- you need ttl and stale-while-revalidate semantics
- you want type-safe cache values with validation

## When to avoid
- you need a distributed cache with built-in eviction policies
- you want a full caching server or CDN solution

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: caching, middleware
- domain: web-development, backend, developer-tools, performance
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: stale-while-revalidate, ttl-cache, type-safety, cache-wrapper, lru-cache, redis, nodejs, typescript
