Compressors

Compressor is a partial case of serializer: it's a serializer from bytes into and from bytes, which by definition provides some kind of data compression.

It also means that you can use a compressor alone, effectively making a cache of compressed blobs:

from datetime import timedelta

from cachetory.caches.sync import Cache
from cachetory.serializers.compressors import ZlibCompressor
from cachetory.backends.sync import RedisBackend

cache = Cache[bytes](
    serializer=ZlibCompressor(),
    backend=RedisBackend(...),
)
cache.set(
    "my-blob",
    b"this huge blob will be compressed and stored in Redis for an hour",
    time_to_live=timedelta(hours=1),
)
