Pre-populating caches is a “bolt-on” cache-optimization I've used successfully in many systems. It works, but it adds complexity

Read Original

This technical article discusses pre-populating caches as a 'bolt-on' optimization to reduce latency and cache misses in systems that frequently access data from a source of record. It compares this approach to the traditional cache-aside pattern, detailing implementation methods (pull vs. pub/sub), operational complexities, and scenarios where the performance gain justifies the added overhead.
