Advanced Caching Concepts

Understand advanced caching strategies including write-through, write-back, and write-around to optimize backend service performance. Learn when to apply each method for balancing data consistency, write efficiency, and cache pollution in scalable Go applications.

Introduction

Caching is a technique that helps in improving the performance of applications by reducing the number of requests that are made to an external system. We have already explored the basics of this concept as well as implemented in-memory caches. In this lesson, we will be discussing strategies for how and when to cache, specifically write-through, write-back, and write-around.

Write-through caching

Write-through caching is a caching strategy in which every write operation is written both to the cache and the ...
