Redis Caching Architecture

Caching strategy using Redis for performance optimization.

Configuration

REDIS_URL=redis://localhost:6379
REDIS_HOST=localhost
REDIS_PORT=6379

Cache Layers

NestJS Cache Integration

import { CacheModule } from "@nestjs/cache-manager";
import * as redisStore from "cache-manager-redis-store";

@Module({
  imports: [
    CacheModule.register({
      store: redisStore,
      host: process.env.REDIS_HOST,
      port: process.env.REDIS_PORT,
      ttl: 300, // 5 minutes default
    }),
  ],
})
export class AppModule {}

Using Cache

Controller-Level

@UseInterceptors(CacheInterceptor)
@CacheTTL(600)
@Get()
async findAll() {
  return this.employeeService.findAll();
}

Service-Level

@Injectable()
export class EmployeeService {
  constructor(@Inject(CACHE_MANAGER) private cache: Cache) {}

  async findById(id: string): Promise<Employee> {
    const cacheKey = `employee:${id}`;
    let employee = await this.cache.get<Employee>(cacheKey);

    if (!employee) {
      employee = await this.repository.findOne({ where: { id } });
      await this.cache.set(cacheKey, employee, 600);
    }

    return employee;
  }
}

Cache Invalidation

// Invalidate on update
async update(id: string, dto: UpdateDTO): Promise<Employee> {
  const result = await this.repository.save({ id, ...dto });
  await this.cache.del(`employee:${id}`);
  await this.cache.del('employee:list');
  return result;
}

Cache Key Patterns

Pattern	TTL	Invalidation
employee:{id}	10min	On update/delete
employee:list:{orgId}	5min	On any employee change
task:count:{projectId}	2min	On task change
permission:{userId}	30min	On role change
config:{tenantId}	60min	On config change
