The Feed Page That Kept Hitting Postgres: Cache-Aside, Write-Through and Pub/Sub Fixed It

Learn to serve a news feed from Redis with cache-aside reads, write-through updates, Pub/Sub invalidation, and Top-K ranking.

  • Cache-aside stores only what readers actually request and bounds staleness with a TTL.
  • Write-through keeps the cache in sync by updating it right after the primary database write.
  • Redis Pub/Sub broadcasts invalidation events but delivers at-most-once, so it is not a durable feed.
