A Django app that transparently caches Django ORM query results and automatically invalidates them when the underlying data changes. It requires minimal setup and works with Redis, Memcached, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and MySQL.

Use cases

• cache django orm queries automatically
• speed up django database reads
• automatic cache invalidation for django models
• reduce database load in django app
• drop-in query caching for django

When to choose

• you have read-heavy Django ORM queries slowing down your app
• you want caching without manually writing cache invalidation logic
• you use PostgreSQL, SQLite, or MySQL with Redis or Memcached

When to avoid

• you modify data outside Django frequently without running the invalidation command
• you need to cache raw SQL or non-ORM queries
• you run multiple servers with unsynchronized clocks
