----------------------------------------
Asynchronous cache refreshing for Django
----------------------------------------
What does this library do?
--------------------------
It's an extensible caching library that refreshes stale cache items
asynchronously using a Celery_ or rq_ task (utilizing django-rq). The key
idea being that it's better to serve a stale item (and populate the cache
asynchronously) than block the response process in order to populate the cache
synchronously.
.. _Celery: http://celeryproject.org/
.. _rq: http://python-rq.org/
Using this library, you can rework your views so that all reads are from
cache - which can be a significant performance boost.
A corollary of this technique is that cache hammering can be handled simply and
elegantly, avoiding sudden surges of expensive reads when a cached item becomes stale.
Do you have good docs?
