In various parts of the system, data caching can lead to the following difficulties and errors:

  • Stale data: the cache may contain outdated information if mechanisms for updating or invalidating the cache are not implemented.
  • Consistency issues: if data changes at the source and the cache is not updated synchronously, this leads to inconsistencies.
  • Cache overflow: without size limits, the cache can grow uncontrollably, leading to increased memory usage.
  • Synchronization challenges in distributed systems: when multiple instances of the application exist, cache consistency must be ensured.
  • Errors in cache logic: incorrect key definitions or caching conditions can result in returning incorrect data.

For example, in Go, when using in-memory cache, it is important to consider that the cache will be lost upon application restart, and a strategy for data cleaning and updating should be planned.
