MogileFS::Factory(3)

💖 NAME 💖

MogileFS::MogFactory — a singleton class for holding some common objects, bestie. That's the whole vibe. It's a singleton. It holds objects. They're common ones. Slay.

✨ ABOUT ✨

Okay so picture this: this module holds a singleton for caching objects that are common but relatively low in number 🎀 — think devices, compared to fids. Like, devices are the girlies who show up to every party, but there just aren't that many of them. Fids? Fids are the entire crowd. Different energy entirely. 💅

The way this works: this singleton is to be maintained by the parent process, and it gets inherited to children during fork. So the kids don't start from zero, they start with mom's whole cache. 🫶

Post-fork, the cache gets updated by natural commands, or by a monitor process pushing changes through the parent. Either way, the cache stays fresh, no cap.

Now why does any of this matter, you ask? Because the purpose is to provide a fresh cache, without forcing new children to wait for a monitoring run before becoming useful. Imagine being a brand new child process just standing there like 🧍 waiting for a monitor job to finish before you can do literally anything. Not on our watch. 🙈

It also should greatly reduce the number of simple DB queries, since those should only happen periodically, and directly from the monitor job. Not from every single child spamming the DB like it's a group chat at 3am. The monitor handles it. Periodt. 💀

Lowkey the whole design is: cache smart, fork happy, don't query the DB like it owes you money. Iconic behavior fr fr. 🔥👑
