Cache data in Redis from Encore.ts using `CacheCluster` and typed keyspaces from `encore.dev/storage/cache`. Type-safe key/value access with TTLs, atomic increments, and per-keyspace data shapes.
Encore's cache is a typed wrapper around Redis. Declare a CacheCluster once, then create Keyspace objects for each shape of data you need.
Reference a cluster from another service: const cluster = CacheCluster.named("my-cache");
Eviction policies: "allkeys-lru" (default), "noeviction", "allkeys-lfu", "allkeys-random", "volatile-lru", "volatile-lfu", "volatile-ttl", "volatile-random".
Each keyspace has a key shape (used to build the Redis key from keyPattern) and a value type.
CacheCluster and keyspaces at package level.IntKeyspace for counters gives you atomic increment/decrement for free.get() returns undefined on miss; replace() and setIfNotExists() throw on conflict.encore-database (Postgres) or encore-bucket (object storage) instead.import {
