Top 5 Caching Strateges

When we introduce a cache into the architecture, synchronization between the cache and the database becomes inevitable.

Let’s look at 5 common strategies how we keep the data in sync.

🔹 Read Strategies:
Cache aside
Read through

🔹 Write Strategies:
Write around
Write back
Write through

The caching strategies are often used in combination. 

For example, write-around is often used together with cache-aside to make sure the cache is up-to-date.
