Cacheback
Asynchronous cache refreshing for Django
What does this library do?
It's an extensible caching library that refreshes stale cache items
asynchronously using a Celery_ or rq_ task (utilizing django-rq). The key
idea being that it's better to serve a stale item (and populate the cache
asynchronously) than block the response process in order to populate the cache
synchronously.

Using this library, you can rework your views so that all reads are from
cache - which can be a significant performance boost.
A corollary of this technique is that cache hammering can be handled simply and
elegantly, avoiding sudden surges of expensive reads when a cached item becomes stale.
Do you have good docs?
