foyer

foyer aims to be an efficient and user-friendly hybrid cache lib in Rust.

foyer draws inspiration from Facebook/CacheLib, a highly-regarded hybrid cache library written in C++, and ben-manes/caffeine, a popular Java caching library, among other projects.

However, foyer is more than just a rewrite in Rust effort; it introduces a variety of new and optimized features.

Features

• Hybrid Cache: Seamlessly integrates both in-memory and disk cache for optimal performance and flexibility.
• Plug-and-Play Algorithms: Empowers users with easily replaceable caching algorithms, ensuring adaptability to diverse use cases.
• Fearless Concurrency: Built to handle high concurrency with robust thread-safe mechanisms, guaranteeing reliable performance under heavy loads.
• Zero-Copy In-Memory Cache Abstraction: Leveraging Rust's robust type system, the in-memory cache in foyer achieves a better performance with zero-copy abstraction.
• User-Friendly Interface: Offers a simple and intuitive API, making cache integration effortless and accessible for developers of all levels.
• Out-of-the-Box Observability: Integrate popular observation systems such as Prometheus, Grafana, Opentelemetry, and Jaeger in just ONE line.

• RisingWave: SQL stream processing, analytics, and management.
• Chroma: Embedding database for LLM apps.

Quick Start

This section only shows briefs. Please visit https://foyer.rs for more details.

To use foyer in your project, add this line to the dependencies section of Cargo.toml.

foyer = "0.12"

If your project is using the nightly rust toolchain, the nightly feature needs to be enabled.

foyer = { version = "0.12", features = ["nightly"] }

Out-of-the-box In-memory Cache

use foyer::{Cache, CacheBuilder};

fn main() {
    let cache: Cache<String, String> = CacheBuilder::new(16).build();

    let entry = cache.insert("hello".to_string(), "world".to_string());
    let e = cache.get("hello").unwrap();

    assert_eq!(entry.value(), e.value());
}

Easy-to-use Hybrid Cache

use foyer::{DirectFsDeviceOptions, Engine, HybridCache, HybridCacheBuilder};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
    let dir = tempfile::tempdir()?;

    let hybrid: HybridCache<u64, String> = HybridCacheBuilder::new()
        .memory(64 * 1024 * 1024)
        .storage(Engine::Large) // use large object disk cache engine only
        .with_device_options(DirectFsDeviceOptions::new(dir.path()).with_capacity(256 * 1024 * 1024))
        .build()
        .await?;

    hybrid.insert(42, "The answer to life, the universe, and everything.".to_string());
    assert_eq!(
        hybrid.get(&42).await?.unwrap().value(),
        "The answer to life, the universe, and everything."
    );

    Ok(())
}

Supported Rust Versions

foyer is built against the recent stable release. The minimum supported version is 1.81.0. The current foyer version is not guaranteed to build on Rust versions earlier than the minimum supported version.

Supported Platforms

foyer is designed to serve on Linux OS, but can still be built on other OS for development.

However, other components may not support non-Linux OS.

Development State & Roadmap

Currently, foyer is still under heavy development.

The development state and the roadmap can be found in foyer - Development Roadmap.
