What is Solid Cache in Rails 8?

Solid Cache is the default cache store in Rails 8 that utilizes a database—ideally running on NVMe storage—instead of RAM-based stores like Redis, simplifying infrastructure while maintaining high performance.

Does this skill help with database isolation?

Yes, it provides specific configurations for database.yml and migrations to ensure your cache lives in a separate database, preventing it from impacting your primary application data.

How does the skill handle cache expiration?

The skill implements expiration strategies including per-entry 'expires_in' settings and FIFO (First-In-First-Out) eviction patterns typical of database-backed stores.

Can I use this for performance tuning?

Absolutely. It includes patterns for ZSTD compression, batch reading and writing operations, and performance-oriented maintenance tasks like VACUUM ANALYZE.
