Caching Strategy

Additional information: Caching strategy is a concept in IT architecture that involves the use of caching mechanisms to improve the performance of applications and systems. Caching involves storing frequently accessed data in a cache, which is a temporary storage area that is closer to the application or system than the original data source. This reduces the time it takes to access the data, thereby improving the overall performance of the application or system.

Example: Caching Mechanism:
Decision: Implementing a distributed caching mechanism, such as Redis or Memcached, to improve response times and reduce database load.
Rationale: Caching frequently accessed data in memory reduces the need for repeated database queries, resulting in faster response times, improved scalability, and reduced strain on the database infrastructure.

dct:title: Architecture Decision Record about Caching Strategy

eira:adr_context: The context explains why we need to make a decision. It also describes the alternatives along with the pros and cons.

eira:adr_decision: The decision describes the justification for why the particular solution was accepted. It has more emphasis on the why rather than the how.

eira:adr_status: [Proposed (under review)|Accepted (approved and ready for implementation)|Superseded (superseded by another decision)]

eira:adr_consecuences: The consequences section contains information about the overall impact of an architectural decision. Every decision has trade-offs. That’s why it’s crucial to include the analysis to provide a clear picture.
