Rails Fast Cache

This gem provides a wrapper around Rails cache store that improves performance by:

• using Brotli as default compressor instead of GZip
• using MessagePack as default serializer instead of Marshal
• delegating cache writes to a thread pool instead of running them synchronously

Requirements

• Rails 7.1+
• You need to provide appropriate MessagePack serializers to cache custom classes

Installation

Gemfile

gem 'rails-fast-cache'

Configuration

Rail Fast Cache implements ActionsSupport::Cache::Store API and can be instantiated by passing the same parameters you would pass to Rails' config.cache_store configuration option.

class Application < Rails::Application
...
  config.cache_store = RailsFastCache::Store.new(:memory_store, { size: 64.megabytes })
