Why Caching Matters

A cache stores frequently accessed data in fast storage so you avoid expensive recomputation or database hits.

For SaaS, caching reduces latency, lowers database load, and cuts cost as you scale to thousands of tenants.

Cache-Aside Pattern

The most common pattern is cache-aside (lazy loading): the application checks the cache first, and on a miss loads from the database and populates the cache.

function getUser(id) {
  let user = cache.get('user:' + id);
  if (!user) {
    user = db.query('SELECT * FROM users WHERE id=?', id);
    cache.set('user:' + id, user, 300); // 5 min TTL
  }
  return user;
}

Write-Through Caching

In write-through caching, every write goes to both the cache and the database synchronously. The cache is always fresh, but writes are slightly slower.

This avoids stale reads at the cost of write latency.

function updateUser(id, data) {
  db.update('users', id, data);
  cache.set('user:' + id, data, 300);
}

Write-Behind Caching

Write-behind (write-back) writes to the cache immediately and flushes to the database asynchronously in batches.

It is very fast but risks data loss if the cache fails before flushing. Use it only where some loss is tolerable.

Time To Live (TTL)

A TTL defines how long a cached entry stays valid before automatic expiry. Short TTLs keep data fresh; long TTLs maximize hit rates.

Choosing a TTL is a trade-off between freshness and performance.

cache.set('plan:limits', limits, 3600); // 1 hour TTL

Tenant-Aware Cache Keys

In multi-tenant SaaS, you must never leak one tenant's data to another via the cache. Always namespace keys by tenant.

function key(tenantId, resource) {
  return 'tenant:' + tenantId + ':' + resource;
}
cache.set(key(42, 'settings'), settings);

Cache Invalidation

The hardest problem in caching is invalidation: removing stale entries when underlying data changes.

  • TTL expiry — simple but allows brief staleness
  • Explicit deletion on write
  • Event-driven invalidation via pub/sub

Cache Stampede

When a popular key expires, thousands of requests may hit the database at once. This is a cache stampede.

Mitigations include locks (only one request refreshes), staggered TTLs (jitter), and serving stale data while refreshing in the background.

Distributed Caches

A single app server cache does not scale across many instances. SaaS uses distributed caches like Redis or Memcached, shared by all servers.

This ensures every instance sees the same cached values.

What to Cache

Cache data that is read often and changes rarely: configuration, plan limits, reference data, rendered fragments.

Avoid caching highly volatile or sensitive data unless you have strong invalidation. The wrong cache is worse than no cache.

Measuring Cache Effectiveness

Track your hit rate — the percentage of requests served from cache. A low hit rate means the cache adds overhead without benefit.

Hit rate = hits / (hits + misses). Aim high for read-heavy paths.

Quick Check

Test your caching knowledge.

Recap

You learned essential SaaS caching patterns:

  • Cache-aside, write-through, write-behind
  • TTLs and the freshness vs. performance trade-off
  • Tenant-aware keys to prevent data leaks
  • Invalidation, stampede mitigation, and distributed caches
