High-Throughput Redis Caching: Cache-Aside, Write-Through & Cache Invalidation Strategies
By Moemecto Distributed Systems & Software Architecture Group
Designing resilient caching tiers: cache stampede protection, probabilistic early expiration (XFetch), TTL jitter, and multi-tier L1 memory / L2 Redis architectures.
A high-throughput in-memory caching tier shields primary databases from excessive load, accelerating response times from milliseconds to microseconds.
1. Caching Topology Patterns
| Pattern | Read Flow | Write Flow | Consistency Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cache-Aside (Lazy) | App reads Cache; falls back to DB on miss | App writes to DB, invalidates Cache | Eventual Consistency |
| Write-Through | App reads Cache | App writes to Cache; Cache writes to DB | Strong Consistency |
| Write-Behind (Async) | App reads Cache | App writes to Cache; Cache batches async writes to DB | High Throughput / Potential Data Loss |
