Actix-storage

Actix storage is a simple wrapper around some key-value storages to provide basic operations without knowing the backend in advance.

Why?

There are times you're writing an actix-web handler and you need a key-value storage to store some state or cache some value, but you don't know what kind of storage you're gonna need in advance, generally:

1. When you don't know what kind of storage you'll want.
2. When you can't afford the long time compilation of some dbs while developing
   • hashmap store compiles pretty fast
3. When you're writing a general purpose library and you want to let the user decide

Why not?

If you really care about every drop of your application performance then actix-storage may not be for you, as it uses dynamic dispatching internally.

Examples

There are bunch of examples in the examples folder, very basic ones thought, but it will give you the idea.

Implementations

• actix-storage-hashmap: using tokio's delayqueue for expiration
• actix-storage-dashmap: using delay-queue crate for expiration
• actix-storage-sled: using delay-queue crate for expiration
• actix-storage-redis
