What are the different caching strategies and their benefits?

There are several caching strategies, including cache-aside, write-through, and write-back. Each has its own benefits.

Can you explain the cache-aside strategy in more detail?

Sure! In the cache-aside strategy, the application code is responsible for loading data into the cache. It checks the cache first and only fetches from the database if the data is not present.

What are the pros and cons of using write-through caching?

Write-through caching ensures that data is written to both the cache and the database simultaneously, which can improve data consistency but may introduce latency.

How does write-back caching differ from write-through?

In write-back caching, data is written to the cache first and only written to the database later. This can improve performance but risks data loss if the cache fails.
