Design Microservices Architecture with Patterns and Principles - Adapt Microservices Distributed Caching with Cache-Asid

The video tutorial discusses the technology stack for an ecommerce application, focusing on microservices and distributed caching. It covers various caching tools like Redis and Memcached, and serverless options such as Amazon Elastic Cache and Azure Cache for Redis. The importance of using caching as a supplement to databases, rather than a replacement, is emphasized to enhance the performance of microservice architectures.

What are the two open-source distributed caching tools mentioned in the text?

• Redis

• Memcached

• Cassandra

• MongoDB

List the serverless cloud distributed cache options mentioned in the text.

• Amazon Elastic Cache

• Azure Cache for Redis

• Google Cloud Storage

• IBM Cloud Object Storage

What is the purpose of using Amazon Elastic Cache in microservices architecture?

Explain the difference between distributed caching and databases as described in the text.
