Caching with Spring: From Cache theory to cache Implementation 


Yegor Bondar

Key Terms




Cache (/ˈkæʃ/ kash) is a component that transparently stores data so that future requests for that data can be served faster. The data that is stored within a cache might be values that have been computed earlier or duplicates of original values that are stored elsewhere.

Suitable Areas for caching


Cache concept


Cache types:

  • Application cache
  • Second level (L2) cache
  • Hybrid cache

Application cache


l2 cache


Hybrid cache


key cache terms



  • Cache size - defines how many elements a cache can hold;

  • Cache eviction - algorithm defines what to do when the number of elements in cache exceeds the size (LRU, LFU, FIFO) & eviction percentage;

  • Time-to-live - defines time after that a cache key should be remove from the cache (expired);

Cache topologies

Local Heap cache


CAche Topologies

Local Off-Heap Cache (Terracotta, Hazelcast Enterprise)


REPLICATED CACHE VS distributed cache 

Shared Cache Topologies

Replicated Get


REplicated put


Distributed Get


distributed Put


Distributed node failure

conclusion




  • Use Cache only if needed
  • Keep it local as much as possible
  • Use Cache Abstractions and don't rely on implementation
