I’m looking at someone’s code and they have something like this
def concache_sup(name, opts \\ []) do
Supervisor.child_spec(
{
ConCache,
[
name: name,
ttl_check_interval: 10_000,
global_ttl: 60_000,
touch_on_read: true
]
},
id: {ConCache, name}
)
end
What is the unit for global_ttl? 60,000 milliseconds? And is that the time how long the cache lasts?

It’s IMO well-explained. Do you struggle with anything in there?

The documentation uses
:timer.secondsI’m not sure what that returns. Is that returning an integer representing seconds? So in my code the TTL is actually 60,000 seconds?

No,
60_000refers to 60k milliseconds i.e. 60 seconds.
