Database Cache Layer Implementation

About

This skill provides a comprehensive framework for adding high-performance caching to applications, allowing Claude to architect and implement multi-tier caching systems. It guides the setup of distributed Redis layers (L2), application-level in-memory caches (L1), and CDN configurations. By automating the implementation of patterns like Cache-Aside, Write-Through, and Write-Behind, it helps developers significantly reduce database latency, handle traffic spikes via cache stampede prevention, and maintain data consistency through robust invalidation logic.
