# CacheBox Events

CacheBox's aggregation functionality offers a wide gamut of life cycle events that are announced at certain points in execution time. Below are the current events announced by the CacheBox `CacheFactory`. Remember, this is the `CacheFactory` and not a **CacheBox Cache Provider**.
