Solid Cache

A database-backed ActiveSupport::Cache::Store

Solid Cache is a database-backed Active Support cache store that lets you keep a much larger cache than is typically possible with traditional memory-only Redis or Memcached stores. This is thanks to the speed of modern SSD drives, which make the access-time penalty of using disk vs RAM insignificant for most caching purposes. Simply put, you're now usually better off keeping a huge cache on disk rather than a small cache in memory.

What you get

• executor - the Rails executor used to wrap asynchronous operations, defaults to the app executor
• size_estimate_samples - if max_size is set on the cache, the number of the samples used to estimate the size.
• encrypted - whether cache values should be encrypted (see Enabling encryption)
• encryption_context_properties - custom encryption context properties
