Design Microservices Architecture with Patterns and Principles - Cache-Aside Pattern for Microservices

The video tutorial explains the cache aside pattern, a common caching strategy in microservices. It details the three steps involved: checking the cache, retrieving from the cache, and updating the cache if needed. Advanced caching operations like read through and write through are discussed. The benefits of using a distributed cache, such as improved performance and reduced database load, are highlighted. Implementation tips using tools like Redis and Memcached are provided. The tutorial also covers potential drawbacks, including added complexity and latency issues.
