Temporary fork of @nescha/cache-handler

This repository includes a branch justin/next15 which is a patched version of a PR started here. Use at your own discretion. I've published this at @jadkins89/next-cache-handler on npm.

Flexible API for replacing the default Next.js cache, enabling custom caching solutions for multi-instance self-hosted deployments.


Latest Release

🎉 Version 1.8.0 has been released! It now includes the neshClassicCache function ↗, that allows you to cache the results of expensive operations in the getServerSideProps and API routes.

Do not forget the registerInitialCache instrumentation hook ↗, that allows the cache to be pre-populated with the initial data when the application starts.

Check out the changelog for more details.
