OBJECTIVE:
To define a caching class that uses in-RAM dicts to hold cached data.
This is a good way to cache data for a single-machine, single-process service. The cached data is rapidly
available (since it's held in RAM), but it cannot be shared across various instances.
WARNING:
--------
THIS IS A STRONGLY STATEFUL WAY OF IMPLEMENTING CACHING. THE USER'S REQUEST WILL HAVE TO HIT EXACTLY THE SAME
MACHINE AND EXACTLY THE SAME PROCESS ON THAT MACHINE FOR THE CACHE TO BE ANY GOOD.
The idea is simple:
-------------------
Everything that needs to be cached should have a key (identifier) and a value (the actual data). We hold the
cache in a dictionary in Python where the identifier becomes the key of the dict, and the value is the cached
data.

implementations that run on a single machine because the cached data will not be accessible to other processes
