Distributed Caching with Redis for SrpingBoot Apps in Action

This is a 2 hours free crash course on implementing distributed cashing with Redis in SpringBoot Apps, developed in 3 parts (and 6 sections). This is implementation & demo oriented course.

In Part1, we will cover the overview of Distributed Caching" and "Redis", various Read Write Caching Patterns & Pitfalls. We will conclude with a demo, by implementing R/W cache patterns in SpringBoot REST API, using Spring-Data-Redis.
Part-1 : Various R/W Cache Patterns

1. Introduction

2. Session Overview

3. Tools and Software required

4. Distributed Caching Overview (& expectations from cache manager)

5. Why Redis ?

6. Popular R/W Caching Patterns

7. Redis Client: Java Cache Providers (and JSR107 and Spring Cache Abstraction)

8. Demo over view

9. Demo Build the Spring Boot APIs (with no cache)

10. Test (nocache) APIs with Postman

11. Add Caching feature to code

12. Test caching (postman, redis-cli monitor, RedisInsight)

13. Points to keep in mind while considering caching & Sample good use cases

14. Common Pitfalls

Part-2.1 : Security (ACLs)

1. Security and access control lists (ACLs) in Redis,

2. Demonstrate security implementation in the springboot app we built in Part-1

Part-2.2 : Redis Modules (RedisJSON & RedisSearch)

1. Quick demo using RedisJSON and RedisSearch.

Part-3.1 Caching Web Session Data

1. An overview of Web Session Data

2. Demonstrates the implementation using Spring-Session-Data-Redis with in a SpringBoot Web Application

Part-3.2 Cache Eviction Policies and TTL (Server and Client Side)

1. Introduces Eviction Policies and TTL concepts. Concludes by implementing and demoing this using applications we built in Part-1 (Rest APs) and Part-3 (web application).
