+# Support Table Cache Architecture
+
+This document describes the architecture and design of the `support_table_cache` gem, which provides automatic caching for ActiveRecord support table models.
+
+## Overview
+
+Support Table Cache is designed to optimize database queries for small lookup tables (support tables) that have:
+- Unique keys (e.g., unique `name` attribute)
+- Limited number of entries (a few hundred at most)
+- Rarely updated data but frequently queried
+- Used for data normalization (lookup tables)
+
+The gem automatically caches records when using `find_by` methods and `belongs_to` associations, eliminating redundant database queries.
+
+## High-Level Architecture

+
+## Configuration Patterns
+
+### Model Setup
+
+```ruby
+class Status < ApplicationRecord
+  include SupportTableCache
+
+  # Cache by single unique attribute
+  cache_by :name, case_sensitive: false
+
+  # Cache by composite unique key
+  cache_by [:group, :name]
+
+  # Cache by id (for associations)
+  cache_by :id
+
+  # Optional: Set TTL for cache entries
+  self.support_table_cache_ttl = 5.minutes
+
+  # Optional: Use in-memory cache
+  self.support_table_cache = :memory
+end
+```
+
+### Association Setup
+
+```ruby
+class Order < ApplicationRecord
+  include SupportTableCache::Associations
+
+  belongs_to :status
+  cache_belongs_to :status
+end
+```
+
+## Performance Benefits
+
+### Query Elimination
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+    participant App as Application
+    participant Cache as Cache
+    participant DB as Database
+
+    Note over App,DB: Without Cache
+    App->>DB: Status.find_by(name: 'active')
+    DB-->>App: Record
+    App->>DB: Status.find_by(name: 'active')
+    DB-->>App: Same Record (redundant query)
+    App->>DB: Status.find_by(name: 'active')
+    DB-->>App: Same Record (redundant query)
+
+    Note over App,DB: With Cache
+    App->>Cache: Status.find_by(name: 'active')
+    Cache->>DB: First query only
+    DB-->>Cache: Record
+    Cache-->>App: Record
+    App->>Cache: Status.find_by(name: 'active')
+    Cache-->>App: Record (from cache)
+    App->>Cache: Status.find_by(name: 'active')
+    Cache-->>App: Record (from cache)
+```
+
+## Design Principles
+
+1. **Transparent Integration**: No code changes required beyond configuration
+2. **Selective Caching**: Only caches queries that match configured unique keys
+3. **Automatic Invalidation**: Cache entries are cleared when records change
+4. **Flexible Cache Backends**: Supports various cache stores including in-memory
+5. **Test Isolation**: Provides testing utilities to prevent cache pollution
+6. **Performance Optimization**: Minimizes database queries for frequently accessed lookup data
+
+## Use Cases
+
+- **Status/Type Tables**: Small enums stored in database tables
+- **Configuration Tables**: Application settings and parameters
+- **Reference Data**: Countries, states, categories, etc.
+- **Lookup Tables**: Any small, rarely-changing reference data
+
+This architecture enables significant performance improvements for applications that heavily query small support tables while maintaining data consistency and providing flexible caching options.
