Cachetools vs Other Libraries: Which is Better for Caching?

What are the main differences between cachetools and other caching libraries?

Cachetools is a lightweight library focused on in-memory caching, while others like Redis or Memcached are more robust and distributed.

When should I choose cachetools over something like Redis?

Choose cachetools for simpler applications where you need quick, local caching without the overhead of a server.

Are there any performance benchmarks comparing cachetools to other libraries?

Yes, cachetools generally performs well for small to medium datasets, but for larger datasets, Redis or Memcached may be more efficient.

Can cachetools handle multi-threading?

Cachetools is not thread-safe by default, but you can use locks or other synchronization methods to manage access in multi-threaded applications.
