Caching Architecture

A layered cache can keep hot objects close to the request path while protecting slower backing stores. Cache keys, TTLs, invalidation, memory limits and stampede protection all affect correctness and performance; cache-hit and cache-miss paths should be measured separately.

Ideas first. Evidence next.

Turbnix engineering claims should ultimately be validated with reproducible tests. Design goals, early observations and measured production results are kept distinct so the project can improve from evidence rather than assumptions.
