Momento Cache is a fast, simple, pay-as-you-go caching solution without any of the operational overhead required by traditional caching solutions. This repo contains the source code for the Momento Ruby client library.
To get started with Momento you will need a Momento Auth Token. You can get one from the Momento Console.

The Momento Ruby SDK is available on RubyGems
Install the gem and add to an application's Gemfile by executing:
bundle add momentoIf bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:
gem install momentoYou will need Ruby 2.7 or newer.
An IDE with good Ruby support, such as RubyMine, is recommended.
Note: M1 or M2 Macs: If you're using an M1 or M2 Mac, you may have trouble installing the grpc gem; see this issue for more information.
A work around is to run bundle config build.grpc --with-ldflags="-Wl,-undefined,dynamic_lookup" before doing bundle install.
You can find this example code and more in the examples directory of this repository.
# An example of the basic functionality of
# Momento::CacheClient.
require 'momento'
# Cached items will be deleted after 12.5 seconds.
TTL_SECONDS = 12.5
# The name of the cache to create *and delete*
CACHE_NAME = ENV.fetch('MOMENTO_CACHE_NAME', 'ruby-examples')
# Create a credential provider that loads a Momento API Key from an environment variable.
credential_provider = Momento::CredentialProvider.from_env_var('MOMENTO_API_KEY')
# This is a reasonable configuration for dev work on a laptop.
configuration = Momento::Cache::Configurations::Laptop.latest
# This configuration might be better for a production where you want more aggressive timeouts
# configuration = Momento::Cache::Configurations::InRegion.latest
# To set a custom timeout, you can use the with_timeout method.
# configuration = configuration.with_timeout(10_000)
# To increase the number of TCP connections for a client where you expect a high volume of traffic,
# you can use the with_num_connections method.
# configuration = configuration.with_num_connections(4)
# Instantiate a Momento client.
client = Momento::CacheClient.new(
configuration: configuration,
credential_provider: credential_provider,
default_ttl: TTL_SECONDS
)
# Create a cache to play with.
response = client.create_cache(CACHE_NAME)
if response.success?

Momento::CacheClient follows the philosophy that when working with a service, exceptions are bugs. Minor outages are a fact of life; they are normal rather than exceptional.
When there is a problem, Momento::CacheClient methods return an error response, the same as any other response. This makes errors more visible, allows your IDE to be more helpful in ensuring that you've handled the responses you care about.
Check if a response is an error with response.error?, get the error with response.error, and it can be raised as an exception with raise response.error. Generally, printing response.error tell you what you need to know, but you might want more details. Here's a contrived example.
# This is an invalid cache name. They must be ASCII-only.
cache_name = 'çåché nåme'
response = client.create_cache(cache_name)
if response.success?
puts "Created the cache"
elsif response.error?
error = response.error
puts "Creating the cache failed: #{error}"
case error
when Momento::Error::LimitExceededError
puts "We'll have to slow down"
when Momento::Error::PermissionError
puts "We'll have to fix our auth token"
when Momento::Error::InvalidArgumentError
puts "We can't make a cache named #{cache_name}"
end
endMomento::CacheClient will raise exceptions for programmer mistakes such as passing the wrong type, typically an ArgumentError or TypeError. The exceptions are documented for each method.
See Momento::Response for more about working with with error responses, and Momento::Error for more about using errors.
