How would you design a Swift concurrency-safe caching layer?
Updated May 17, 2026
Short answer
You use actors or serial queues to protect cache mutations from race conditions.
Deep explanation
Caching systems are prone to race conditions under concurrency. Swift actors provide built-in isolation. Alternatively, serial dispatch queues ensure sequential access. Cache eviction policies must be thread-safe to avoid inconsistent state.
