spring-data-redis-cache

This project demostrates the use of Redis as a cache for a MySQL database using the Cache-Aside strategy. It implements dynamic TTL.

Cache Aside Pattern

This is the most common way to use Redis as a cache. Cache-aside is an excellent choice for read-heavy applications when cache misses are acceptable. The application handles all data operations when you use a cache-aside pattern, and it directly communicates with both the cache and database.
