Redis & Application Caching
Redis & Application Caching is an intermediate, 9-week course for developers with backend API and database fundamentals. It teaches designing a cache with explicit freshness rules using cache-aside patterns, key/TTL contracts, atomic operations, and stampede/outage handling, culminating in a cached course catalog project with controlled staleness and stampede protection.
Design a cache with explicit freshness, key ownership, invalidation and failure behavior.
What you'll learn
Turn a business request into a testable contract
Choose cache-aside with a stated source of truth
Design keys, TTLs and value versions as a contract
Use atomic operations for the actual shared decision
