DiskCache - Python disk backed cache (Django-compatible). Faster than Redis and Memcached. Pure-Python

DiskCache is a disk and file backed cache library, written in pure-Python, and compatible with Django. The cloud-based computing of 2021 puts a premium on memory. Gigabytes of empty space is left on disks as processes vie for memory. Among these processes is Memcached (and sometimes Redis) which is used as a cache. It is good to use empty disk space for caching.

DiskCache efficiently makes gigabytes of storage space available for caching. By leveraging rock-solid database libraries and memory-mapped files, cache performance can match and exceed industry-standard solutions. There's no need for a C compiler or running another process. Performance is a feature and testing has 100% coverage with unit tests and hours of stress.
