Caching Strategies Pattern

Improve application performance with multi-layer caching using React cache, Next.js data cache, Redis, and stale-while-revalidate patterns.

What's Included#

  • React cache for request-level deduplication of database queries
  • Next.js data cache with revalidation tags and on-demand invalidation
  • unstable_cache for database queries with TTL and manual revalidation
  • Redis caching with Upstash for distributed key-value storage
  • Stale-while-revalidate pattern for serving stale data while refreshing in the background
  • Memoization utilities for both synchronous and async functions with TTL

Ask your AI assistant:

  • "Use the caching strategies pattern from Bootspring"
  • "Apply the Bootspring caching pattern to my project"

Key Considerations#

  • Cache strategically; not everything benefits from caching, and stale data can cause bugs
  • Set appropriate TTLs that balance data freshness against performance gains
  • Use tags for related content so you can invalidate entire groups at once
  • Always fall back to fetching fresh data when cache reads fail
  • Warm critical cache paths on deployment for popular content to avoid cold starts
