So much work just to avoid using Redis. If I wanted to use SQL for cache, I'd rather choose the memory engine of MySQL.

Why would you onboard an entirely separate service if you're already using PostgreSQL ?

Honestly it feels like a hack with multiple drawbacks. I'd personally rather use something specifically designed for the job.
