Day 17 - Design a distributed cache for microservices
Design a distributed cache system to improve performance and scalability for microservices in a distributed architecture. The cache should reduce the latency of frequently accessed data and provide a centralized mechanism for storing and retrieving shared data. Consider factors such as data partitioning, replication, consistency models, eviction policies, and cache invalidation strategies in your design. Discuss how you would integrate the cache with microservices, including caching strategies for different types of data and services. Additionally, address how you would handle cache coherence and synchronization across distributed nodes. Provide insights into the technologies, caching frameworks, and architectural patterns you would employ to implement this distributed cache effectively within a microservices environment.
