🔗 Using ETS for caching in Elixir

The beautiful thing about Elixir (and the Erlang VM in general) is that most of the stuff that requires you to rely on external dependencies and other applications in other languages, can be implemented within your own application in Elixir quite gracefully.

Caching is no different here. Ruby or Java might require you to have something like Redis or Memcache set up, but in Elixir, you can just roll your own quickly using the Erlang Term Storage (ETS).
