Best Practices
Follow these tips for optimal cache performance:
- Use consistent request formatting for better hit rates
- Implement cache key normalization (trim whitespace, lowercase)
- Set appropriate TTL based on data freshness requirements
- Monitor cache hit rates and adjust strategies accordingly
- Use Redis Cluster for high availability
- Implement cache warm-up for critical endpoints
