Azure Cache for Redis¶
Organizations need to provide fast and responsive user experiences by caching frequently accessed data. This requires a scalable and efficient platform for high throughput and low-latency access.
Problem¶
A high-traffic e-commerce website needs to provide a fast and responsive user experience. The company requires a solution to cache frequently accessed data, such as product details, user sessions, and shopping cart information, to reduce backend database load and improve performance.
Problem Analysis¶
Handling a large number of user requests generates significant load on the backend database, resulting in slower response times and affecting user experience. Querying the database for every request is inefficient and costly. The company needs a solution to cache frequently accessed data, improve response times, and ensure high availability and reliability. The solution should also support session management and real-time analytics.
Solution¶
Azure Cache for Redis is a fully managed, in-memory data store based on Redis. It enables caching of frequently accessed data, reducing backend database load and improving application performance. Azure Cache for Redis supports the cache-aside pattern, loading data into the cache only when needed. The cache remains up-to-date with the latest data. The service can be used for session management, storing user session data for fast access. It also supports real-time analytics, storing and processing data such as user activity logs and clickstream data. High availability and fault tolerance are provided through replication and automatic failover.
