S3FIFO 1.0: Zero-Allocation Cache for Node.js Hits Production
S3FIFO 1.0 is a production-ready Node.js cache implementing the S3-FIFO algorithm with zero dynamic allocation during get/set cycles. It uses TypedArrays to eliminate GC pressure and includes persistence features for cold-start prevention. The library achieves 100% unit test coverage and is designed for high-throughput microservices.
