Caffeine is a high performance, near optimal caching library. For more details, see our user's guide and browse the API docs for the latest release.

Cache

Caffeine provides an in-memory cache using a Google Guava inspired API. The improvements draw on our experience designing Guava's cache and ConcurrentLinkedHashMap.

LoadingCache<Key, Graph> graphs = Caffeine.newBuilder()
    .maximumSize(10_000)
    .expireAfterWrite(Duration.ofMinutes(5))
    .refreshAfterWrite(Duration.ofMinutes(1))
    .build(key -> createExpensiveGraph(key));
