Details

Summary

when possible, we should get the user identity in question from the redis cache. if we can't get it, then we call identity and -- in the background -- cache the response

Depends on D13639

Test Plan

called getUserFarcasterID in a loop 10 times with a 10 second sleep in between each call and confirmed that only the first invocation of the function led to an identity service API call

  1. Can we invert this condition to early exit?
  2. Wondering – why don't we cache null results?

  1. yeah
  2. to avoid overcomplicating the API. we could store null results but then redisCache.getUserIdentity and the above function would have to distinguish between null and undefined. this seems error-prone and i'm not sure it's worth the trouble. in this case, we only call getUserFarcasterID with the viewer's userID, so we expect the identity service to have this user's identity. the other place where we might want to use this cache is in updateRelationships, where we call findUserIdentities. caching null results might be more useful here but i'm not sure

exit early and remove iife
