alt Hacker NewsI have implemented my own SIEVE cache, with TTL support. It solves all these issues and requires no background workers. Author, or anyone else interested in this, should read the SIEVE paper/website and implement their own.

interesting, will check out
that was an interesting read (https://junchengyang.com/publication/nsdi24-SIEVE.pdf), thanks for the recommendation. It looks like a good fit for replacing the underlying storage mechanism of Pocache, instead of the LRU. Though I do not think it addresses the thundering herd problem, where the underlying database would be flooded with calls when the cache expires. I think Pocache is focusing more on the caching strategy itself rather than the cache eviction or storage mechanisms. Hence the store is configurable for Pocache.
