- Current event-aware cache wrapper has been using a timestamp as a way to create keys in Redis cache and reset them all at once. We are now moving on to the updated Redis adapter that supports "reset()" natively, so there's no need for synthetic resets.

We're rolling out new rules around the node assert library, the first of which is enforcing the use of assert/strict. This means we don't need to use the strict version of methods, as the standard version will work that way by default.
This caught some gotchas in our existing usage of assert where the lack of strict mode had unexpected results:
- Url matching needs to be done on `url.href` see aa58b354a4
- Null and undefined are not the same thing, there were a few cases of this being confused
- Particularly questionable changes in [PostExporter tests](c1a468744b) tracked [here](https://github.com/TryGhost/Team/issues/3505).
- A typo see eaac9c293a
Moving forward, using assert strict should help us to catch unexpected behaviour, particularly around nulls and undefineds during implementation.
As discussed with the product team we want to enforce kebab-case file names for
all files, with the exception of files which export a single class, in which
case they should be PascalCase and reflect the class which they export.
This will help find classes faster, and should push better naming for them too.
Some files and packages have been excluded from this linting, specifically when
a library or framework depends on the naming of a file for the functionality
e.g. Ember, knex-migrator, adapter-manager

- The main feature of this cache wrapper is being able to "reset" the the cache without calling the "reset" on the wrapped cache. Being able to invalidate caches without accessing the data is a feature needed to run on caches with shared environment.
- Cache invalidation happens through a special "reset time" key being added to each key when setting or getting a value, when the cache is reset the reset time is set to a new value - essentially invalidating all previously accessible values.
