Background of Distributed Cache

Define the core concepts for designing a high-performance distributed cache. Analyze various writing policies, such as write-through and write-back, alongside common eviction algorithms like LRU. Learn how to apply consistent hashing and sharding to ensure scalability and reliability in distributed System Design.

This chapter explains the design of a distributed cache. First, it is important to understand core concepts such as data write policies, eviction strategies, and cache invalidation. The following prerequisites are covered:
