Source: Redis Best Practices & Caching Strategies (AWS)

Phase 1: Data model & Structure

• [ ] Type Selection: Choose the appropriate type for data (String, Hash, List, Set, Sorted Set).
• [ ] Naming: Determine Key naming standards (app:module:id).
• [ ] TTL: Always define an Expiration for every key.

Phase 2: Caching Strategy

• [ ] Cache Aside: Ensure application checks Redis first, if missing fetches from DB and updates Redis.
• [ ] Invalidation: Set up logic to delete/update relevant Redis key when DB is updated.

Phase 3: Advanced Patterns

• [ ] Pub/Sub: Use channels for instant messaging between services.
• [ ] Atomic Ops: Use INCR or Lua scripts to prevent race conditions.
• [ ] Streams: Manage high volume event streams (Event sourcing).
