- Its demo traces a cache stampede through named files, line numbers, a 40-connection pool, and four proposed fixes.
Field notes
The worked example follows a checkout cache stampede from a one-hour TTL to simultaneous Redis misses, then points to a 40-connection database pool and repeated per-item lookups. Its review menu compares TTL jitter with single-flight locking, background refresh, and increasing pool size, including the possibility of shifting load to Postgres. The site lists Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Amp, and provides installation paths for macOS/Linux and Windows.
