Read-Through and Write-Through Caching with Redis
Read-through caching shifts database loading logic from the application to the cache layer, ensuring consistent population on cache misses. Write-through caching synchronously updates both cache and database on writes, maintaining consistency at the cost of higher write latency. Together, they provide a consistent cache but can fill it with cold data and slow writes.

A solid primer on caching patterns, but the tradeoffs—especially write latency and cold data—are well-known; the article doesn't break new ground.
