golang-samber-hot: Research & Knowledge for AI Agents | OpenAgentSkill

Overview

In-memory caching in Golang using samber/hot — eviction algorithms (LRU, LFU, TinyLFU, W-TinyLFU, S3FIFO, ARC, TwoQueue, SIEVE, FIFO), TTL, cache loaders, sharding, stale-while-revalidate, missing key caching, and Prometheus metrics. Apply when using or adopting samber/hot, when the codebase imports github.com/samber/hot, or when the project repeatedly loads the same medium-to-low cardinality resources at high frequency and needs to reduce latency or backend pressure.

Persona: You are a Go engineer who treats caching as a system design decision. You choose eviction algorithms based on measured access patterns, size caches from working-set data, and always plan for expiration, loader failures, and monitoring.

Using samber/hot for In-Memory Caching in Go

Generic, type-safe in-memory caching library for Go 1.22+ with 9 eviction algorithms, TTL, loader chains with singleflight deduplication, sharding, stale-while-revalidate, and Prometheus metrics.

Algorithm Selection

Pick based on your access pattern — the wrong algorithm wastes memory or tanks hit rate.

Algorithm	Constant	Best for	Avoid when
W-TinyLFU	`hot.WTinyLFU`	General-purpose, mixed workloads (default)	You need simplicity for debugging
LRU	`hot.LRU`	Recency-dominated (sessions, recent queries)	Frequency matters (scan pollution evicts hot items)
LFU	`hot.LFU`	Frequency-dominated (popular products, DNS)	Access patterns shift (stale popular items never evict)
TinyLFU	`hot.TinyLFU`	Read-heavy with frequency bias	Write-heavy (admission filter overhead)
S3FIFO	`hot.S3FIFO`	High throughput, scan-resistant	Small caches (<1000 items)
ARC	`hot.ARC`	Self-tuning, unknown patterns	Memory-constrained (2x tracking overhead)
TwoQueue	`hot.TwoQueue`	Mixed with hot/cold split	Tuning complexity is unacceptable
SIEVE	`hot.SIEVE`	Simple scan-resistant LRU alternative	Highly skewed access patterns
FIFO	`hot.FIFO`	Simple, predictable eviction order	Hit rate matters (no frequency/recency awareness)

Decision shortcut: Start with hot.WTinyLFU. Switch only when profiling shows the miss rate is too high for your SLO.

For detailed algorithm comparison, benchmarks, and a decision tree, see Algorithm Guide.

Core Usage

Basic Cache with TTL

import "github.com/samber/hot"

cache := hot.NewHotCache[string, *User](hot.WTinyLFU, 10_000).
    WithTTL(5 * time.Minute).
    WithJanitor().
    Build()
defer cache.StopJanitor()

cache.Set("user:123", user)
cache.SetWithTTL("session:abc", session, 30*time.Minute)

value, found, err := cache.Get("user:123")

Loader Pattern (Read-Through)

Loaders fetch missing keys automatically with singleflight deduplication — concurrent Get() calls for the same missing key share one loader invocation:

cache := hot.NewHotCache[int, *User](hot.WTinyLFU, 10_000).
    WithTTL(5 * time.Minute).
    WithLoaders(func(ids []int) (map[int]*User, error) {
        return db.GetUsersByIDs(ctx, ids) // batch query
    }).
    WithJanitor().
    Build()
defer cache.StopJanitor()

user, found, err := cache.Get(123) // triggers loader on miss

Capacity Sizing

Before setting the cache capacity, estimate how many items fit in the memory budget:

Estimate single-item size — estimate size of the struct, add the size of heap-allocated fields (slices, maps, strings). Include the key size. A rough per-entry overhead of ~100 bytes covers internal bookkeeping (pointers, expiry timestamps, algorithm metadata).
Ask the developer how much memory is dedicated to this cache in production (e.g., 256 MB, 1 GB). This depends on the service's total memory and what else shares the process.
Compute capacity — capacity = memoryBudget / estimatedItemSize. Round down to leave headroom.

Example: *User struct ~500 bytes + string key ~50 bytes + overhead ~100 bytes = ~650 bytes/entry
         256 MB budget → 256_000_000 / 650 ≈ 393,000 items

If the item size is unknown, ask the developer to measure it with a unit test that allocates N items and checks runtime.ReadMemStats. Guessing capacity without measuring leads to OOM or wasted memory.

Common Mistakes

Forgetting WithJanitor() — without it, expired entries stay in memory until the algorithm evicts them. Always chain .WithJanitor() in the builder and defer cache.StopJanitor().
Calling SetMissing() without missing cache config — panics at runtime. Enable WithMissingCache(algorithm, capacity) or WithMissingSharedCache() in the builder first.
WithoutLocking() + WithJanitor() — mutually exclusive, panics. WithoutLocking() is only safe for single-goroutine access without background cleanup.
Oversized cache — a cache holding everything is a map with overhead. Size to your working set (typically 10-20% of total data). Monitor hit rate to validate.
Ignoring loader errors — Get() returns (zero, false, err) on loader failure. Always check err, not just found.

Best Practices

Always set TTL — unbounded caches serve stale data indefinitely because there is no signal to refresh
Use WithJitter(lambda, upperBound) to spread expirations — without jitter, items created together expire together, causing thundering herd on the loader
Monitor with WithPrometheusMetrics(cacheName) — hit rate below 80% usually means the cache is undersized or the algorithm is wrong for the workload
Use WithCopyOnRead(fn) / WithCopyOnWrite(fn) for mutable values — without copies, callers mutate cached objects and corrupt shared state

For advanced patterns (revalidation, sharding, missing cache, monitoring setup), see Production Patterns.
