Quick Start​

1. Basic Setup​

from packages.caching import CacheManager, CacheConfig

# Create configuration
config = CacheConfig(
    max_size_bytes=1024 * 1024 * 1024,  # 1GB
    semantic_threshold=0.85,
    warming_enabled=True
)

# Initialize cache manager
cache_manager = CacheManager(config)
await cache_manager.initialize()

# Use the cache
result = await cache_manager.get("query_key", CacheLayer.EMBEDDING)
if isinstance(result, CacheHit):
    print(f"Cache hit! Value: {result.entry.value}")
else:
    print("Cache miss - need to compute")

2. Semantic Matching​

from packages.caching import EmbeddingCache, SemanticMatcher

# Create embedding cache with semantic matching
embedding_cache = EmbeddingCache(cache_manager, config)

# Store embedding
await embedding_cache.set(
    text="What is machine learning?",
    embedding=[0.1, 0.2, 0.3, ...],
    model_name="text-embedding-ada-002"
)

# Retrieve with semantic matching
result = await embedding_cache.get(
    text="What is ML?",  # Similar but different query
    use_semantic=True
)

if isinstance(result, CacheHit):
    print(f"Semantic match found! Similarity: {result.similarity_score}")

3. Cache Warming​

from packages.caching import CacheWarmer

# Create cache warmer
warmer = CacheWarmer(config)
await warmer.start()

# Track user queries for pattern analysis
warmer.add_query_for_analysis(
    query="What is machine learning?",
    user_id="user123",
    context={"source": "web"}
)

# The warmer will automatically analyze patterns and warm the cache
