Django Distributed File Based Cache

The Django Distributed File Based Cache is a library that I developed for myself to use in my small projects.

How it works?

Thanks to my other library(Django Serviceless Distributor) I can distribute any functions easily across nodes so I wrote a cache backend if you wonder how it works you should definitely see Django Serviceless Distributor

Is it efficient to use?

The answer is depends on how many nodes you have in your environment. If it is over 5 that maybe useless because you know if you can pay for 5 why not 1 for the cache. Also replicating data across request processing servers not the best approach.

Quick Start

Install library

pip install django-distributed-file-based-cache

Configure your urls.py

  ....
  path("", include("distributed_file_based_cache.urls")),
  ....

Configure your settings.py

# Set as cache backend
CACHES = {
    "default": {
        "BACKEND": "distributed_file_based_cache.cache.DistributedFileBasedCache",
        "LOCATION": "cache",
    }
}

# Nodes IPs (Do not use load balancer IP, we couldn't know
# if all nodes affected if you use load balancer IP)
SERVICELESS_DISTRIBUTOR_NODES = ["http://10.0.0.0", "http://10.0.0.1", ...]

(Not) Frequently Asked Questions

Most of the answers can be found on Django Serviceless Distributor but I'll update if I'll receive specific question about this library.
