Enhance Your Kotlin Apps: A Guide to Smart Caching Solutions

<p><em>TL;DR &mdash; Caches discusses the problems with caching, such as coupling and maintainability, and proposes solutions like using an object mediator, testing invalidation scenarios, and modeling real-world cache metaphors. It concludes that caches should be functional, and intelligent, and domain objects shouldn&rsquo;t be cached.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h1>Problem</h1> <ul> <li>Coupling</li> <li>Testability</li> <li>Cache Invalidation</li> <li>Maintainability</li> <li>Premature Optimization</li> <li>Erratic Behavior</li> <li>Lack of Transparency</li> <li>Non-Deterministic Behavior</li> </ul> <h1>Solution</h1> <ol> <li>If you have a conclusive benchmark and are willing to accept some coupling, put an object in the middle.</li> <li>Unit test all your invalidation scenarios.
