Your cache is broken.
CacheLint finds it.

Find missing invalidation, no TTL, cache stampedes, Redis misuse, architecture gaps, and security hygiene issues — before they corrupt production data.

Bad caching doesn't just slow things down — it corrupts everything.

Missing invalidation. No TTL. Cache stampedes on every deploy. KEYS * in production bringing Redis to its knees. When the stale data hits customer-facing pages, it started here.

What CacheLint Catches

90 checks across 6 categories, covering every aspect of caching logic and data consistency.

CI
🔄

Cache Invalidation

Detects database writes without cache invalidation, stale cache after mutations, missing cache-aside pattern implementation, and write-through inconsistencies that corrupt user-facing data.

15 checks
TE

TTL & Expiry

Catches cache.set() without TTL, infinite expiration on volatile data, inconsistent TTL across related keys, and missing expiry policies that let stale data accumulate forever.

15 checks
CS

Cache Stampede

Finds cache misses without distributed locks, thundering herd on popular keys, missing singleflight patterns, and cold-start scenarios that hammer your database on every deploy.

15 checks
RM
🗃

Redis/Store Misuse

Detects KEYS * in production, unbounded hash growth, missing connection pooling, large key serialization, and dangerous FLUSHALL calls that nuke your entire cache layer.

15 checks
CA
🏗

Cache Architecture

Catches N+1 cache lookups in loops, missing multi-tier caching, no cache warming strategy, over-caching of frequently-changing data, and cache key collisions across services.

15 checks
SH
🔒

Security & Hygiene

Detects sensitive data cached without encryption, PII in cache keys, missing access controls on shared caches, cache poisoning vectors, and unprotected cache endpoints.

15 checks
