Performance Chat Summary: 17 June 2025
The full chat log is available beginning here on Slack.
Open Floor
- @swissspidy shared a previous question from @spacedmonkey, regarding the use of static variables in core for in-memory caching, and whether the object caching API with a non-persistent cache group might be a better alternative. Benefits noted included cache invalidation capabilities and improved testing scenarios.
In the original discussion thread:- @flixos90 questioned the practical advantages of cache invalidation for non-persistent caches.
- @spacedmonkey clarified it would allow developers to optionally enable persistent caching, improve testability by clearing caches between tests, and align with the intended usage of the object cache API.
- @flixos90 agreed that while making these caches persistent could introduce issues, improved testing practices were indeed a valid benefit.
- @spacedmonkey also requested feedback on PR #8728, inviting further input from contributors.
Our next chat will be held on Tuesday, July 1, 2025 at 15:00 UTC in the #core-performance channel in Slack.
