## 📊 Caching Strategy
|
|
|
|
### Endpoints Cached
|
|
|
|
1. **Health Check** (`/api/v1/health`)
|
|
- TTL: 30 seconds
|
|
- Reason: Frequently polled, changes infrequently
|
|
|
|
2. **Metrics** (`/api/v1/monitoring/metrics`)
|
|
- TTL: 60 seconds
|
|
- Reason: Expensive to compute, updated periodically
|
|
|
|
3. **Alerts** (`/api/v1/monitoring/alerts`)
|
|
- TTL: 10 seconds
|
|
- Reason: Needs to be relatively fresh
|
|
|
|
4. **Disk List** (`/api/v1/storage/disks`)
|
|
- TTL: 300 seconds (5 minutes)
|
|
- Reason: Changes infrequently, expensive to query
|
|
|
|
5. **Repositories** (`/api/v1/storage/repositories`)
|
|
- TTL: 180 seconds (3 minutes)
|
|
- Reason: Moderate change frequency
|
|
|
|
6. **Services** (`/api/v1/system/services`)
|
|
- TTL: 60 seconds
|
|
- Reason: Changes infrequently
|
|
|
|
### Endpoints NOT Cached
|
|
|
|
- **POST/PUT/DELETE** - Mutating operations
|
|
- **Authenticated user data** - User-specific data
|
|
- **Task status** - Frequently changing
|
|
- **Real-time data** - WebSocket endpoints
|
|

## 🚀 Performance Benefits
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
2. **Database Load Reduction**
|
|
- Fewer queries for read-heavy endpoints
|
|

|
|
- Lower CPU usage
|
|
|
|
3. **Scalability**

## 🏗️ Implementation Details
|
|
|
|
### Cache Key Generation
|
|
|
|
Cache keys are generated from:
|
|
- Request path
|
|
- Query string parameters
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
- Path: `/api/v1/storage/disks`
|
|
- Query: `?active=true`
|
|
- Key: `http:/api/v1/storage/disks:?active=true`
|
|
|
|
Long keys (>200 chars) are hashed using SHA-256.
|
|
|
|
### Cache Invalidation
|
|
|
|
Cache can be invalidated:
|
|
- **Per key**: `InvalidateCacheKey(cache, key)`
|
|
- **Pattern matching**: `InvalidateCachePattern(cache, pattern)`
|
|
- **Full clear**: `cache.Clear()`
|
|
|
|
### Background Cleanup
|
|
|
|
Expired entries are automatically removed:
|
|
- Cleanup runs every 1 minute
|
|
- Removes all expired entries
|
|
- Prevents memory leaks
|
|

## 📈 Monitoring
|
|
|
|
### Cache Statistics
|
|
|
|
Get cache statistics:
|
|
```go
|
|
stats := cache.Stats()
|
|
// Returns:
|
|
// - total_entries: Total cached entries
|
|
// - active_entries: Non-expired entries
|
|
// - expired_entries: Expired entries (pending cleanup)
|
|
// - default_ttl_seconds: Default TTL in seconds
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### HTTP Headers
|
|
|
|
Cache status is indicated by headers:
|
|
- `X-Cache: HIT` - Response served from cache
|
|
- `X-Cache: MISS` - Response generated fresh
|
|
- `Cache-Control: public, max-age=300` - HTTP cache directive
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## 🔧 Configuration
|
|
|
|
### Enable/Disable Caching
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
server:
|
|
cache:
|
|
enabled: false # Disable caching
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Custom TTL
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
server:
|
|
cache:
|
|
default_ttl: 10m # 10 minutes
|
|
max_age: 600 # 10 minutes in seconds
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Per-Endpoint TTL
|
|
|
|
Modify `cacheControlMiddleware()` in `cache.go` to set custom TTLs per endpoint.
|
|
|

## 🎯 Best Practices Applied
|
|
|
|
1. ✅ **Selective Caching** - Only cache appropriate endpoints
|
|
2. ✅ **TTL Management** - Appropriate TTLs per endpoint
|
|
3. ✅ **HTTP Headers** - Proper Cache-Control headers
|
|
4. ✅ **Memory Management** - Automatic cleanup of expired entries
|
|
5. ✅ **Thread Safety** - RWMutex for concurrent access
|
|
6. ✅ **Statistics** - Cache performance monitoring

## 📝 Usage Examples
|
|
|
|
### Manual Cache Invalidation
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
// Invalidate specific cache key
|
|
router.InvalidateCacheKey(responseCache, "http:/api/v1/storage/disks:")
|
|
|
|
// Invalidate all cache
|
|
responseCache.Clear()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Custom TTL for Specific Response
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
// In handler, set custom TTL
|
|
cache.SetWithTTL("custom-key", data, 10*time.Minute)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Check Cache Statistics
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
stats := responseCache.Stats()
|
|
log.Info("Cache stats", "stats", stats)
|
|
```
