----------------------------------------

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?
