Redis as a Cache Provider

Configure Redis-backed caching.

Why Redis for Caching

Redis is an in-memory data store that works as a distributed cache shared across many app instances.

  • Survives app restarts
  • Shared by all nodes
  • Supports TTL and eviction

Adding the Dependency

Add Spring Data Redis to switch the cache backend to Redis.

// build.gradle
implementation "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-redis"
