Alternatives to use before using cache

• Caching can be hard use and maintain

• Try using other methods (see section ...)

• Examples to increase performance/lower latency

  • Reduce number of proxy

  • Choose more performant serializing and deserializing payload (ie protocol buffers)

  • Use http/2, have multiple requests on the same tcp connection (reactive servers like netty)

  • For client, use same tcp connection to send requests (similar to object pooling)

  • Avoid large payloads, large queries (no select *), use pagination, if filtering/ordering do it in the db, indexes in db

  • Reduce client side processings
