How to Cache Data in Redis with Python
Build a simple Redis cache wrapper that stores and retrieves JSON data with automatic TTL and serialization.
import redis
import json
import time
class Cache:
def __init__(self, host="localhost", port=6379, db=0, default_ttl=60):
self.client = redis.Redis(host=host, port=port, db=db)
self.default_ttl = default_ttl
def get(self, key):
value = self.client.get(key)
if value is None:
…How to Implement Namespaced Cache Keys for Tenant Isolation in Python
Build a tenant-aware cache wrapper that prefixes keys with tenant and namespace, and test it with mocks.
from keyvaluestore import SimpleCache
from unittest.mock import patch
class TenantCache(SimpleCache):
def __init__(self, tenant_id, namespace="default"):
super().__init__()
self.tenant_id = tenant_id
self.namespace = namespace
def _key(self, key):
return f"tenant:{self.tenant_…Browse by section
