## Configuration

```java
@Configuration
@EnableCaching
public class RedisConfig {

    @Bean
    public RedisTemplate<String, Object> redisTemplate(RedisConnectionFactory factory) {
        RedisTemplate<String, Object> template = new RedisTemplate<>();
        template.setConnectionFactory(factory);
        template.setKeySerializer(new StringRedisSerializer());
        template.setValueSerializer(jsonSerializer()); // JSON, not Java serialize
        template.setHashKeySerializer(new StringRedisSerializer());
        template.setHashValueSerializer(jsonSerializer());
        return template;
    }

    @Bean
    public RedisCacheManager cacheManager(RedisConnectionFactory factory) {
        RedisCacheConfiguration config = RedisCacheConfiguration.defaultCacheConfig()
            .entryTtl(Duration.ofMinutes(10))
            .serializeKeysWith(RedisSerializationContext.SerializationPair.fromSerializer(new StringRedisSerializer()))
            .serializeValuesWith(RedisSerializationContext.SerializationPair.fromSerializer(jsonSerializer()))
            .disableCachingNullValues();

        return RedisCacheManager.builder(factory)
            .cacheDefaults(config)
            .withCacheConfiguration("orders", config.entryTtl(Duration.ofMinutes(5)))
            .withCacheConfiguration("products", config.entryTtl(Duration.ofHours(1)))
            .build();
    }

    // Jackson 3 (tools.jackson) serializer. Default typing is OFF by default —
    // enable it (scoped to trusted packages) so cached Objects round-trip to their
    // real type instead of coming back as LinkedHashMap.
    private GenericJacksonJsonRedisSerializer jsonSerializer() {
        return GenericJacksonJsonRedisSerializer.builder()
            .enableDefaultTyping(BasicPolymorphicTypeValidator.builder()
                .allowIfSubType("com.example.")   // your DTO packages
                .allowIfSubType("java.util.")     // collections
                .build())
            .build();
    }
}
```

## Key Naming Convention

```
{app}:{domain}:{id}          → orders:order:uuid-here
{app}:{domain}:list:{filter} → orders:order:list:status:PENDING
{app}:session:{userId}       → orders:session:uuid-here
{app}:ratelimit:{ip}         → orders:ratelimit:192.168.1.1
```

## @Cacheable — Declarative Caching

```java
@Service
@RequiredArgsConstructor
public class ProductService {

    @Cacheable(value = "products", key = "#id")
    public ProductResponse findById(UUID id) {
        return productRepository.findById(id)
            .map(ProductResponse::from)
            .orElseThrow(() -> new EntityNotFoundException("Product not found: " + id));
    }

    @CachePut(value = "products", key = "#result.id")  // update cache after write
    @Transactional
    public ProductResponse update(UUID id, UpdateProductRequest request) {
        Product product = productRepository.findById(id).orElseThrow();
        product.update(request);
        return ProductResponse.from(productRepository.save(product));
    }

    @CacheEvict(value = "products", key = "#id")  // invalidate on delete
    @Transactional
    public void delete(UUID id) {
        productRepository.deleteById(id);
    }

    @CacheEvict(value = "products", allEntries = true)  // clear all
    public void clearCache() {}
}
```

## Manual Cache-Aside Pattern

```java
@Service
@RequiredArgsConstructor
public class OrderCacheService {

    private final RedisTemplate<String, Object> redisTemplate;
    private final JsonMapper jsonMapper; // Jackson 3 — Boot auto-configures a JsonMapper bean
    private static final Duration TTL = Duration.ofMinutes(5);

    public Optional<OrderResponse> get(UUID orderId) {
        String key = "orders:order:" + orderId;
        Object cached = redisTemplate.opsForValue().get(key);
        if (cached == null) return Optional.empty();
        return Optional.of(jsonMapper.convertValue(cached, OrderResponse.class));
    }

    public void put(OrderResponse order) {
        String key = "orders:order:" + order.id();
        redisTemplate.opsForValue().set(key, order, TTL);
    }

    public void evict(UUID orderId) {
        redisTemplate.delete("orders:order:" + orderId);
    }
}
```

## Rate Limiting with Redis

```java
@Component
@RequiredArgsConstructor
public class RateLimiter {

    private final RedisTemplate<String, String> redisTemplate;

    public boolean isAllowed(String identifier, int maxRequests, Duration window) {
        String key = "ratelimit:" + identifier;
        Long count = redisTemplate.opsForValue().increment(key);
        if (count == 1) {
            redisTemplate.expire(key, window);
        }
        return count <= maxRequests;
    }
}
```

## application.yml

```yaml
spring:
  data:
    redis:
      host: ${REDIS_HOST:localhost}
      port: ${REDIS_PORT:6379}
      password: ${REDIS_PASSWORD:}
      timeout: 2000ms
      lettuce:
        pool:
          max-active: 10
          max-idle: 5
          min-idle: 2
  cache:
    type: redis
```

## Cache Stampede

When a hot key expires, every concurrent request misses at once and they all hammer the DB to recompute
the same value (the "thundering herd"). For expensive, high-traffic loads, let one caller compute while
the rest wait:

```java
// sync = true — only one thread computes the value; others block on it
@Cacheable(value = "products", key = "#id", sync = true)
public ProductResponse findById(UUID id) { ... }
```

`sync = true` serializes recomputation per key within a single instance. For a fleet-wide guarantee,
add a short Redis lock (`SETNX` with a TTL) around the recompute. Pair with jittered TTLs so a batch of
keys written together doesn't all expir
