>Cache shenanigan
</h1>
<p>
My notes/mistakes/... when using cache (mainly Redis) from time to time
</p>
<p>My default strategy is:</p>
<ul>
<li>Write to database first then to cache second</li>
<li>
Read from cache first, if not found then read from database second, then
re-write to cache
</li>
</ul>

<p>It's good for general cases, for example with CRUD action.</p>
<p>
The bad things happen when cache and database are not consistent. For
example what happen if writing database OK then writing cache failed? Now
database has new value, but cache has old value Then when we read again,
we read cache first with old value, and that is disaster.
