Executive Summary
Practical caching patterns (Cache-Aside, Write-Through), cache stampede prevention, and Redis distributed locks.
In-memory data structures in Redis provide sub-millisecond data access that protects relational databases from high-concurrency spikes.
Mitigating Cache Stampede with Probabilistic Early Expiration When a popular cache key expires during flash sales, thousands of simultaneous requests can hit the database. Implementing early background cache renewal (XFetch algorithm) eliminates stampedes.
Distributed Locks for Critical Sections Use the Redlock algorithm to guarantee that operations like inventory allocation, voucher redemptions, and order charging execute atomically across multiple backend server nodes.
