# hitbox-redis
Hitbox is an asynchronous caching framework supporting multiple backends and suitable for distributed and for single-machine applications.
hitbox-redis is Cache [Backend] implementation for Redis.
This crate uses [redis-rs] as base library for asynchronous interaction with redis nodes.
It uses one [MultiplexedConnection] for better connection utilisation.
## Example backend usage with hitbox_actix
```rust
use actix::prelude::*;
use hitbox_actix::prelude::*;
#[actix::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), CacheError> {
let backend = RedisBackend::new()
.await?
.start();
let cache = Cache::builder()
.finish(backend)
.start();
Ok(())
}
```
