For me, the weekend is all about reading interesting papers, and ⚡
this weekend I am reading a paper that reimagined caching for transactional systems. The paper introduces a new metric - transactional hit rate - a measure of how effectively the cache reduces latency for entire transactions.
Their approach, DeToX, outperforms traditional methods even on real-world workloads and they do this by leveraging transactional dependencies to make smarter decisions about what to cache and evict.
After skimming the paper once, I found the concept super interesting, so putting this out as a recommendation. Over the weekend I will dive deeper. So, give it a read if the topic amuses you.

Also, if you find it difficult to read a research paper, I have a video where I spoke about the process I follow while reading a paper
