AWS Certified Developer Associate DVA-C02 Practice Question
Your company's application utilizes Amazon DynamoDB for data storage. To improve read performance and reduce latency for frequently accessed items, you have been tasked with implementing a caching layer. You decide to use Amazon ElastiCache. Which strategy should you employ to ensure cache consistency while minimizing performance impact?
Adopt a read-through caching strategy where data is loaded into the cache on a cache miss, optimizing read operations.
Use a write-around caching strategy to write data directly to DynamoDB and bypass the cache, reducing cache overhead.
Incorporate lazy loading, so the cache is only updated when data is requested, minimizing the number of write operations.
Implement a write-through caching strategy where each write to DynamoDB is simultaneously written to the ElastiCache layer.
Write-through caching ensures data consistency because the cache is updated with every write operation performed on the database. This means the cached data is always up-to-date with the database. The approach combines the benefits of having up-to-date data due to the cache being written to before the database write is considered successful. Write-around and read-through caching strategies do not provide the same level of consistency for write operations, as they are primarily focused on read operations. Lazy loading updates the cache only when necessary, which can lead to stale data if not handled correctly.
