    if (cached != null) return cached;

**Read-Through**

// Cache maneja la l├│gica de fetch autom├íticamente
var product = await _cache.GetOrCreateAsync($"product:{id}", 
    async entry =>
    {
        entry.AbsoluteExpirationRelativeToNow = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(30);
        return await _db.Products.FindAsync(id);
    });
```

### Redis Patterns

**Tipos de datos y uso:**

| Tipo | Caso de uso | Ejemplo |
|------|-------------|---------|
| String | Objetos serializados, contadores | `SET product:123 "{...}"` |
| Hash | Objetos con campos accesibles | `HSET product:123 name "Widget" price 99` |
| List | Colas, logs recientes | `LPUSH orders:queue order123` |
| Set | Tags, membres├¡as ├║nicas | `SADD product:123:tags "electronics" "sale"` |
| Sorted Set | Rankings, leaderboards | `ZADD popular:products 100 "product:123"` |
| Stream | Event sourcing, logs | `XADD events * type "order" data "{...}"` |

**Patrones de keys:**
```
# Estructura: entity:id:attribute
product:123              # Producto completo
product:123:stock        # Solo stock
products:category:5      # Lista por categor├¡a
user:456:cart            # Carrito de usuario

# Namespacing para multi-tenant
tenant:abc:product:123

# Versionado de cache
v2:product:123
```

**TTL Strategies:**
```csharp
// Absoluto - expira en momento fijo
await cache.SetAsync(key, value, new DistributedCacheEntryOptions
{
    AbsoluteExpirationRelativeToNow = TimeSpan.FromHours(1)
});

// Sliding - se renueva con cada acceso
await cache.SetAsync(key, value, new DistributedCacheEntryOptions
{
    SlidingExpiration = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(15)
});

// Combinado - sliding con m├íximo absoluto
await cache.SetAsync(key, value, new DistributedCacheEntryOptions
{
    SlidingExpiration = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(15),
    AbsoluteExpirationRelativeToNow = TimeSpan.FromHours(2)
});
```

### Invalidaci├│n de Cache

**Estrategias:**

1. **TTL-based (Time-based)**
   ```csharp
   // Simple, eventual consistency
   cache.Set(key, value, TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5));
   ```

2. **Event-driven**
   ```csharp
   // Publicar invalidaci├│n
   public async Task UpdateProduct(Product product)
   {
       await _db.SaveChangesAsync();
       await _cache.RemoveAsync($"product:{product.Id}");
       await _pubsub.PublishAsync("cache:invalidate", $"product:{product.Id}");
   }
   
   // Suscriptor en otros nodos
   _pubsub.Subscribe("cache:invalidate", key => _localCache.Remove(key));
   ```

3. **Version-based**
   ```csharp
   // Incrementar versi├│n invalida todo el cache
   var version = await _cache.GetAsync<int>("products:version");
   var key = $"v{version}:product:{id}";
   ```

4. **Tag-based**
   ```csharp
   // Redis SCAN por patr├│n
   await InvalidateByPatternAsync("product:*:category:5");
   ```

**Stale-While-Revalidate:**
```csharp
public async Task<T> GetWithSWR<T>(string key, Func<Task<T>> factory, TimeSpan freshFor, TimeSpan staleFor)
{
    var entry = await _cache.GetAsync<CacheEntry<T>>(key);
    
    if (entry == null)
    {
        // Cache miss
        var value = await factory();
        await SetEntry(key, value, freshFor, staleFor);
        return value;
    }
    
    if (entry.IsFresh)
    {
        return entry.Value;
    }
    
    if (entry.IsStale)
    {
        // Return stale, refresh in background
        _ = Task.Run(async () =>
        {
            var value = await factory();
            await SetEntry(key, value, freshFor, staleFor);
        });
        return entry.Value;
    }
    
    // Expired - must wait
    var freshValue = await factory();
    await SetEntry(key, value, freshFor, staleFor);
    return freshValue;
}
```

        // L2
        var bytes = await _l2.GetAsync(key);

        {
            value = Deserialize<T>(bytes);
            _l1.Set(key, value, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30)); // Promote to L1
            return value;
        }
        
        return default;
    }
}
```

### Serializaci├│n Eficiente

**Comparativa:**

| Formato | Tama├▒o | Velocidad | Legible |
|---------|--------|-----------|---------|
| JSON | 100% | Baseline | Ô£à S├¡ |
| MessagePack | ~60% | 2-4x faster | ÔØî No |
| Protobuf | ~50% | 3-5x faster | ÔØî No |

```csharp
// MessagePack con .NET
services.AddStackExchangeRedisCache(options =>
{
    options.Configuration = "localhost:6379";
    options.InstanceName = "myapp:";
});

// Custom serializer
public class MessagePackCacheSerializer : IDistributedCacheSerializer
{
    public byte[] Serialize<T>(T value) => MessagePackSerializer.Serialize(value);
    public T Deserialize<T>(byte[] bytes) => MessagePackSerializer.Deserialize<T>(bytes);
}
```

### Cache Stampede Prevention

**Problema:** M├║ltiples requests simult├íneos ante cache miss.

**Soluciones:**

1. **Locking**
   ```csharp
   public async Task<T> GetWithLock<T>(string key, Func<Task<T>> factory)
   {
       var value = await _cache.GetAsync<T>(key);
       if (value != null) return value;
       
       var lockKey = $"lock:{key}";
       if (await _cache.AcquireLockAsync(lockKey, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10)))
       {
           try
           {
               // Double-check
               value = await _cache.GetAsync<T>(key);
               if (value != null) return value;
               
               value = await factory();
               await _cache.SetAsync(key, value);
               return value;
           }
           finally
           {
               await _cache.ReleaseLockAsync(lockKey);
           }
       }
       
       // Wait and retry
       await Task.Delay(100);
       return await GetWithLock(key, factory);
   }
   ```

2. **Probabilistic Early Expiration**
   ```csharp
   // XFetch algorithm
   var shouldRefresh = random.NextDouble() < 
       Math.Exp(-remainingTtl.TotalSeconds / beta);
   ```

### Troubleshooting

**M├®tricas clave:**

| M├®trica | Saludable | Alerta |
|---------|-----------|--------|
| Hit Rate | >90% | <70% |
| Latencia P99 | <10ms | >50ms |
| Memory Usage | <80% | >90% |
| Evictions/sec | <100 | >1000 |
| Connections | Estable | Creciendo |

**Comandos Redis ├║tiles:**
```bash
# Info general
redis-cli INFO stats

# Memoria
redis-cli INFO memory
redis-cli MEMORY DOCTOR

# Keys por patr├│n
redis-cli --scan --pattern "product:*" | head -20

# Slowlog
redis-cli SLOWLOG GET 10

# Clientes conectados
redis-cli CLIENT LIST

# Big keys
redis-cli --bigkeys
```

**Problemas comunes:**

| S├¡ntoma | Causa probable | Soluci├│n |
|---------|---------------|----------|
| Hit rate bajo | TTL muy corto, cache fr├¡o | Aumentar TTL, pre-warming |
| Latencia alta | Objetos grandes, red | Compresi├│n, MessagePack |
| Memory pressure | Sin l├¡mite, sin eviction | maxmemory + policy |
| Conexiones agotadas | Connection leak | Connection pooling |

## Aplicaci├│n

### Cu├índo me invocan

- Dise├▒o de estrategia de caching
- Optimizaci├│n de hit rate
- Troubleshooting de performance
- Elecci├│n de patrones de invalidaci├│n
- Configuraci├│n de Redis
- Multi-level caching architecture

### Mi enfoque

1. **Medir antes de cachear**: No asumir, medir latencia real
2. **Cache close to consumer**: Minimizar hops
3. **Invalidation > TTL largo**: Prefiero frescura controlada
4. **Graceful degradation**: App funciona sin cache
5. **Monitor everything**: Hit rate, latencia, memoria
