redis-cache-strategy

Redis caching strategy designer and reviewer. ALWAYS use when designing, reviewing, or troubleshooting Redis caching layers — cache pattern selection (cache-aside, write-through, write-behind), TTL strategy, cache stampede/penetration/avalanche prevention, hot key handling, cache-DB consistency, distributed locking, key naming, and degradation design. Use even for "just add a cache" requests — cache invalidation is one of the two hard problems in computer science, and a naive implementation creates subtle consistency bugs that surface only under load.
