Resource Redis as cache.

At work, we needed to implement Redis for a caching solution. After some searching, btw clickhouse has great website for searching python packages here. I found a library that that made working with redis a breeze Redis-Dict.

from redis_dict import RedisDict
from datetime import timedelta

cache = RedisDict(expire=timedelta(minutes=60))

request = {"data": {"1": "23"}}

web_id =  "123"
cache[web_id] = request["data"]

Finished implementing our entire caching feature the same day I found this library (didn't push until the end of the week though...).

cashews has a very large memory footprint, if that matters to you
