Otter also uses the experience of designing caching libraries in other languages (for example, caffeine).
📖 Contents
✨ Features <a id="features" />
- Simple API: Just set the parameters you want in the builder and enjoy
- Autoconfiguration: Otter is automatically configured based on the parallelism of your application
- Generics: You can safely use any comparable types as keys and any types as values
- TTL: Expired values will be automatically deleted from the cache
- Cost-based eviction: Otter supports eviction based on the cost of each entry
- Deletion listener: You can pass a callback function in the builder that will be called when an entry is deleted from the cache
- Stats: You can collect various usage statistics
- Excellent throughput: Otter can handle a huge number of requests
- Great hit ratio: New S3-FIFO algorithm is used, which shows excellent results

✏️ Examples <a id="examples" />
Otter uses a builder pattern that allows you to conveniently create a cache instance with different parameters.
Cache with const TTL
package main
import (
"fmt"
"time"
"github.com/maypok86/otter"
)
func main() {
// create a cache with capacity equal to 10000 elements
cache, err := otter.MustBuilder[string, string](10_000).
CollectStats().
Cost(func(key string, value string) uint32 {
return 1
}).
WithTTL(time.Hour).
Build()
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
// set item with ttl (1 hour)
cache.Set("key", "value")
// get value from cache
value, ok := cache.Get("key")
if !ok {
panic("not found key")
}
fmt.Println(value)
// delete item from cache
cache.Delete("key")
// delete data and stop goroutines
cache.Close()
}
Cache with variable TTL
package main
import (
"fmt"
"time"
"github.com/maypok86/otter"
)
func main() {
// create a cache with capacity equal to 10000 elements
cache, err := otter.MustBuilder[string, string](10_000).
CollectStats().
Cost(func(key string, value string) uint32 {
return 1
}).
WithVariableTTL().
Build()
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
// set item with ttl (1 hour)
cache.Set("key1", "value1", time.Hour)
// set item with ttl (1 minute)
cache.Set("key2", "value2", time.Minute)
// get value from cache
value, ok := cache.Get("key1")
if !ok {
panic("not found key")
}
fmt.Println(value)
// delete item from cache
cache.Delete("key1")
// delete data and stop goroutines
cache.Close()
}
📊 Performance <a id="performance" />
The benchmark code can be found here.
🚀 Throughput <a id="throughput" />
Throughput benchmarks are a Go port of the caffeine benchmarks. This microbenchmark compares the throughput of caches on a zipf distribution, which allows to show various inefficient places in implementations.
You can find results here.
🎯 Hit ratio <a id="hit-ratio" />
The hit ratio simulator tests caches on various traces:
- Synthetic (zipf distribution)
- Traditional (widely known and used in various projects and papers)
- Modern (recently collected from the production of the largest companies in the world)
You can find results here.
💾 Memory consumption <a id="memory-consumption" />
The memory overhead benchmark shows how much additional memory the cache will require at different capacities.
You can find results here.
