Caching Beyond Simple Put and Gets - Effective Design and Implementation

Explore advanced caching strategies and design principles in this GeeCON Prague 2022 conference talk by Jakub Marchwicki. Delve into the complexities of caching beyond basic put and get operations, addressing common pitfalls and bottlenecks that arise from simplistic implementations. Learn how to effectively design caching solutions tailored to specific use cases, starting from business scenarios and moving through abstraction to practical implementation examples using Hazelcast. Gain insights into scaling challenges, data consistency issues, and performance trade-offs associated with caching. Discover techniques to optimize read-access times, manage data invalidation, and mitigate risks of data loss in distributed systems. By the end of this 47-minute talk, acquire the knowledge to evolve from novice to caching expert, equipped with strategies to enhance application performance and reliability.
