Maturity and scope

CacheCore is already valuable when you want a reusable cache foundation with explicit keys, tags, invalidation, and metrics.

Already strong today

• embedded library-first adoption
• explicit key namespacing and tenant scoping
• stale-while-revalidate behavior
• tag invalidation
• metrics around cache behavior

Opinionated by design

CacheCore is not trying to be:

• automatic ORM caching
• a replacement for authoritative storage
• a generic abstraction over every cache backend in v1

Good fit

• backend read acceleration
• aggregate or config lookups
• dashboard and control-plane read models

Weak fit

• teams that want magic caching with no explicit policy
• systems where cache invalidation rules are too product-specific to share safely
