Answer from AI
For the module of calculation indicators (KPI and others), it is recommended to cache in Redis:
- Final aggregated KPI values that are frequently requested and rarely change in a short period. This reduces database load and speeds up response time.
- Intermediate calculations if they are resource-intensive and reused.
- Configuration data and calculation parameters to quickly change logic without restarting the service.
- Results of complex queries, such as pivot tables or reports.
Why Redis:
- High read/write speed.
- Support for TTL for automatic cache refresh.
- Ability to use data structures (hashes, lists) for convenient storage.
Thus, caching in Redis helps reduce response time and decrease load on primary data stores when working with KPIs.
