Design Microservices Architecture with Patterns and Principles - Distributed Caching in Microservices

The video tutorial discusses distributed caching in microservices, highlighting its role in improving system performance by storing frequently accessed data locally. It explains the function of API Gateway in microservice architectures and the benefits of distributed caching, such as enhanced performance, resilience, and scalability. The tutorial also covers various implementation options, including Redis, memcache, and cloud solutions like Amazon Elastic Cache. It concludes with use cases demonstrating how distributed caching can optimize microservice communication and handle increased traffic efficiently.
