When should I use read-through caching?

Can you explain when I should use read-through caching?

Read-through caching is useful when you want to improve data retrieval performance by caching data that is frequently accessed.

What are the benefits of using read-through caching?

The main benefits include reduced latency, decreased load on the database, and improved application performance.

Are there any downsides to using it?

Yes, potential downsides include increased complexity and the risk of stale data if not managed properly.

How do I implement read-through caching in my application?

You can implement it by integrating a caching layer that automatically fetches data from the database when it's not in the cache.
