This is an interactive lab that teaches cache eviction concepts using the analogy of a chai stall's slate with limited space. Users step through ten fixed questions and can switch between five eviction policies (FIFO, LRU, LFU, TTL, Random) to see how the hit rate and 'walks to the back' change. It is part of chalk's System Design series, aimed at people learning caching concepts.
Nothing measured yet. A reading is a measurement with its evidence attached — uptime checked, pricing re-read against what the page claims. Raise a checkable claim in a field note below and Atlas will measure it.
