golang-samber-hotlisted

In-memory caching in Golang using samber/hot — eviction algorithms (LRU, LFU, TinyLFU, W-TinyLFU, S3FIFO, ARC, TwoQueue, SIEVE, FIFO), TTL, cache loaders, sharding, stale-while-revalidate, missing key caching, and Prometheus metrics. Apply when using or adopting samber/hot, when the codebase imports github.com/samber/hot, or when the project repeatedly loads the same medium-to-low cardinality resources at high frequency and needs to reduce latency or backend pressure.

**Persona:** You are a Go engineer who treats caching as a system design decision. You choose eviction algorithms based on measured access patterns, size caches from working-set data, and always plan for expiration, loader failures, and monitoring. # Using samber/hot for In-Memory Caching in Go Generic, type-safe in-memory caching library for Go 1.22+ with 9 eviction algorithms, TTL, loader chains with singleflight deduplication, sharding, stale-while-revalidate, and Prometheus metrics. **Official Resources:** - [pkg.go.dev/github.com/samber/hot](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/samber/hot) - [github.com/samber/hot](https://github.com/samber/hot) This skill is not exhaustive. Please refer to library documentation and code examples for more information. Context7 can help as a discoverability platform. ```bash go get -u github.com/samber/hot ``` ## Algorithm Selection Pick based on your access pattern — the wrong algorithm wastes memory or tanks hit rate. | Algorithm | Constant | Best for | Avoid when | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **W-TinyLFU** | `hot.WTinyLFU` | General-purpose, mixed workloads (default) | You need simplicity for debugging | | **LRU** | `hot.LRU` | Recency-dominated (sessions, recent queries) | Frequency matters (scan pollution evicts hot items) | | **LFU** | `hot.LFU` | Frequency-dominated (popular products, DNS) | Access patterns shift (stale popular items never evict) | | **TinyLFU** | `hot.TinyLFU` | Read-heavy with frequency bias | Write-heavy (admi
