Poor man's cache

[Shereef]

This will try and use an in memory cache for as long as the function lives helps when everyone is on and trying to call the badge tracker cache resets after one hour

That's very useful. I was also wondering: so every visit triggers a web scrape?
Thoughts about caching:

1. Maybe we can use functools.lru_cache
2. Can also consider https://pypi.org/project/memoization/

Yes

Both can be used. Same result. The more lightweight the cheaper it is though

Cloud functions memory and cloud u cost more

Oh, so adding a new module is more overhead due to the install? functoool is built-in but I'll look if lru-cache or anything can be used for memoize
