You need Times'up if

• You want to regenerate caches of specific render-array based on a time E.g. Refresh the cache of my listing of Events every day.

• You're using a CDN or any Reverse Proxy and you're aware of the Drupal limitation of Max-Age bubbling but still need to invalidate content based on time dimensions. See #2352009

• You want to extend the existing feature with your own Periodicity Resolver E.g. Refresh the cache of my listing of Events every 7th of the month.

Features

• Cache-tags by minutes, hours, days and months to invalidate render-array.

• Invalidation occurs using the Drupal Cron system.

• Highly extendable code-base system using ChainResolver design pattern.

• Enable or disable resolvers using configuration settings.

Defaults exposed cache tags

The system will store the last run of every periodicity (daily, weekly, ...) and use this date as relative to invalidate caches.

It means that timesup:daily will re-invalidate content only 1 day after his last run.

• timesup:daily: Will invalidate content every day
• timesup:weekly: Will invalidate content every week
• timesup:hourly: Will invalidate content every hour
• timesup:minutely: Will invalidate content every minute

Timesup also expose a some less-relative cache invalidation.

• timesup:midnight: Will invalidate content every day at midnight
