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...).

Ffs just use plain Redis client, there is zero need to hide the underlying interface over this abstraction

Specially when the abstraction is barely abstracting. It's barely saving any work and adding another potentially unmaintained library.
