Comment on Analyzing the codebase of Caffeine, a high performance caching library

Comments

Caffeine is a gem. Does what it claims, no drama, no scope creep, just works. I've used it in anger multiple times, most notably in Apache Cassandra and DataStax Astra, where it handles massive workloads invisibly, just like you'd want.

Shoutout to author Ben Manes if he sees this -- thanks for the great work!

Plus Ben made it extremely easy to migrate from Google Guava’s cache. It’s mostly the same API and way more performant to switch to Caffeine.

Thanks Jonathan!
