What are the benefits of cache-aside?

What are the benefits of using cache-aside in my application?

Cache-aside allows your application to control what data is cached, improving performance and reducing database load.

Can you explain how it works in a real-world scenario?

Sure! In a typical scenario, your application checks the cache for data first. If it's not there, it fetches it from the database and stores it in the cache for future requests.

What are the potential downsides of using cache-aside?

One downside is that it requires more management, as you need to handle cache misses and ensure data consistency.

Is cache-aside suitable for all types of applications?

Not necessarily. It's best for read-heavy applications where data doesn't change frequently.
