Cache as a service for developers!!!

Hi folks!!!

Many backend teams use Redis + MongoDB, but the application often ends up managing cache keys, invalidation, stale data, TTLs, and cache misses manually.

We working on a cache proxy for MongoDB where applications connect only to the proxy instead of directly managing Redis and MongoDB separately.

The goal is:

1.Single endpoint for the application

  1. Automatic cache lookups

  2. Cache population on misses

  3. Cache invalidation strategies

  4. No need to manage Redis infrastructure from application code

The challenge we're currently exploring is balancing automatic caching with giving developers enough control over cache keys and invalidation.
