Caching Strategy

Optimized performance with built-in caching support for both local and distributed environments.

Redis (Distributed Cache)

The standard choice for production microservices.

• Client: Powered by ioredis.
• Connection: Pre-configured singleton client with automatic reconnection and retry logic.
• Infrastructure: docker-compose.yml includes a ready-to-use Redis service.

Memory Cache (Local Cache)

Perfect for small services or rapid prototyping.

• Client: Powered by node-cache.
• Benefit: Zero-dependency caching that lives directly in the application's RAM.
• Interface: Shares the same internal abstraction as Redis, making it easy to swap later.

Usage in Architecture

• MVC: Caching logic is injected directly into controllers for rapid development.
• Clean Architecture: Integrated into UseCases to keep domain logic clean while benefiting from performance gains.
