## What it is
A Django library providing automatic queryset caching with granular event-driven invalidation, backed by Redis. It also offers decorators for caching functions and views, transaction support, and dog-pile prevention.

## Use cases
- cache django orm querysets automatically
- invalidate cached querysets when data changes
- speed up django database reads with redis
- cache django views and functions
- prevent cache stampede on popular queries

## When to choose
- you use Django with Redis and want transparent ORM-level caching
- you need automatic cache invalidation tied to model writes
- you want to cache arbitrary functions or views with time or queryset semantics

## When to avoid
- your project does not use Django
- you cannot run Redis
- you need caching outside the ORM layer with custom invalidation logic

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: caching, orm, database
- domain: web-development, backend, databases, developer-tools
- platform: python
- tags: django, redis, queryset-cache, cache-invalidation, orm-cache, web-server
