Lessons Learned from the High-Profile Cache-Related Outages

Caching can greatly improve the performance of your application and overall user experience.

No wonder Redis is the most used database image on the Docker Hub. But even with the ephemeral nature of the cache data – when things go wrong with the cache, the whole system might go into a pretty ugly cascading failure. In this program, we will look at the postmortem and lessons learned from a few high-profile outages, where caching played a key role.

Join us as we discuss:

• Benefits of and common patterns for adding a caching layer to your system
• When caching goes wrong…postmortem and lessons learned from some high-profile outages
• Strategies for hardening your application and the caching system
