Eviction Policy Details

LRUCurrent

Least Recently Used - Good for temporal locality

Pros
  • Simple to implement
  • Good for recent access patterns
  • Predictable behavior
Cons
  • Vulnerable to scan attacks
  • High metadata overhead

LFU

Least Frequently Used - Good for frequency-based access

Pros
  • Resistant to scan attacks
  • Good for skewed access patterns
  • Long-term optimization
Cons
  • Complex implementation
  • Slow to adapt
  • High memory overhead

FIFO

First In, First Out - Simple but less effective

Pros
  • Very simple
  • Low overhead
  • Fast operations
Cons
  • Poor hit rates
  • No locality awareness
  • Unpredictable performance

Random

Random eviction - Baseline comparison

Pros
  • Simplest implementation
  • No metadata needed
  • Predictable worst-case
Cons
  • Poor performance
  • No optimization
  • Wasteful

💡 Optimization Recommendations

Multi-level caching: Use L1 (Redis) + L2 (application) for optimal performance
Monitor cache metrics: Track hit rate, eviction rate, and memory usage in production
