## Context The workspace cache and core entity cache keep bounded in-process maps. Entries that have not been read for 30 minutes are removed by an expiration sweep. Before this PR, every cache read synchronously walked the entire local cache, including every stored version, before performing the actual lookup. The cost therefore grew with the number of cached entries even when there was nothing to expire. Both caches are used on common server request paths, so these repeated full-map scans add unnecessary CPU work and short-lived allocations, which can contribute to event-loop and garbage-collection pressure under load. ## What changed - Run each cache's expiration sweep at most once per minute. - Keep the existing expiration logic unchanged and use one captured timestamp for the complete sweep. - Cover both cache services with tests proving that repeated reads within the interval trigger one sweep and that sweeping resumes after the interval. Normal cache reads now pay only for a timestamp check and branch. The full `O(cache size)` scan runs at most once per minute per process. ## Safety This does not change cache freshness: - The 100 ms local freshness window and Redis hash validation still run as before. - Explicit cache invalidation is unchanged. - The 30-minute inactivity threshold is unchanged. - LRU eviction still runs when entries are inserted. - Existing local-cache size limits remain unchanged. An unused entry can remain in memory for at most one additional minute before the next sweep. This may marginally increase average retained memory, but it cannot cause unbounded growth or allow stale data to bypass the existing hash validation. ## Expected impact This removes a cache-size-dependent operation from a high-frequency path. The expected benefit is lower CPU and allocation overhead, less garbage-collection pressure, and improved tail latency when local caches are populated. This is intentionally a narrow optimization. It does not claim to address every source of API tail latency. ## Validation - `yarn nx typecheck twenty-server` - Type-aware Oxlint on the changed files - Oxfmt on the changed files - Targeted workspace-cache and core-entity-cache Jest suites, 23 tests passing

Why Twenty
Twenty gives technical teams the building blocks for a custom CRM that meets complex business needs and quickly adapts as the business evolves. Twenty is the CRM you build, ship, and version like the rest of your stack.

Installation
Cloud
The fastest way to get started. Sign up at twenty.com and spin up a workspace in under a minute, with no infrastructure to manage and always up to date.
Build an app
Scaffold a new app with the Twenty CLI:
npx create-twenty-app my-app
Define objects, fields, and views as code:
import { defineObject, FieldType } from 'twenty-sdk/define';
export default defineObject({
nameSingular: 'deal',
namePlural: 'deals',
labelSingular: 'Deal',
labelPlural: 'Deals',
fields: [
{ name: 'name', label: 'Name', type: FieldType.TEXT },
{ name: 'amount', label: 'Amount', type: FieldType.CURRENCY },
{ name: 'closeDate', label: 'Close Date', type: FieldType.DATE_TIME },
],
});
Then ship it to your workspace:
npx twenty app:publish --private
See the app development guide for objects, views, agents, and logic functions.
Self-hosting
Run Twenty on your own infrastructure with Docker Compose, or contribute locally via the local setup guide.
Everything you need
Twenty gives you the building blocks of a modern CRM (objects, views, workflows, and agents) and lets you extend them as code. Here's a tour of what's in the box.
