Design Microservices Architecture with Patterns and Principles - Design Microservices Distributed Caching with Cache-Asi

The video tutorial covers the implementation of distributed caching using the cache aside pattern in a microservice architecture. It begins with a recap of event-driven microservice architecture and then focuses on distributed caching patterns and practices. The tutorial explains how to refactor design using caching strategies and details the role of an API Gateway in the cache aside pattern. A step-by-step explanation of the cache aside process is provided, highlighting how it improves system responsiveness and scalability.

What is the primary focus of the section after event-driven microservice architecture?

• Distributed caching and cache aside pattern

• Monolithic architecture

• Service-oriented architecture

• Client-server architecture

Which microservices are part of the e-commerce application architecture?

• Catalog, Shopping Cart, Discount, Ordering

• Authentication, Billing, Notification, Search

• User, Payment, Inventory, Shipping

• Product, Cart, Checkout, Review

What role does the API gateway play in the architecture?

• It handles requests and aggregates responses from microservices

• It acts as a load balancer

• It only manages user authentication

• It stores all data permanently

What happens if the API gateway cannot find data in the cache?

• It returns an error to the client

• It ignores the request

• It retrieves data from the responsible microservice and updates the cache

• It redirects the request to another API gateway

How does the cache aside pattern improve response times for repeated requests?

• By caching frequently accessed data locally

• By reducing the number of API gateways

• By storing data in a centralized database

• By increasing the number of microservices
