Cheatsheet: ETag, Cache-Control, Redis cache, fastapi-cache, conditional GET, invalidation.
End-to-end design for a distributed cache. Consistent hashing, replication, eviction policies, hot keys, and the operational realities.
Production caching strategies — cache-aside vs write-through vs write-behind, stampede prevention, hot keys, TTL design, the Redis-vs-Valkey split, and a checklist for adding caching that doesn’t bite back.
How to use Redis as a cache properly — patterns (cache-aside, read-through, write-behind), key design, TTLs, invalidation, and the production gotchas to avoid.
