# 🎯 Quick Reference: CDC Cache Strategy
|
||
|
||
## Your Questions Answered
|
||
|
||
### 1️⃣ What happens to offline customers?
|
||
|
||
**Short Answer:** Cache is **deleted** when data changes, NOT kept for offline users.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
Customer offline for 7 days:
|
||
Day 1: Logged in → Cache populated
|
||
Day 2: Product changes → CDC invalidates → Cache DELETED ✅
|
||
Day 3-7: Customer offline → No cache exists
|
||
Day 8: Customer logs back in → Cache miss → Fresh fetch
|
||
|
||
Result: No stale data, no wasted memory!
|
||
```
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
### 2️⃣ Should we stop invalidating for offline customers?
|
||
|
||
**Short Answer:** NO - Current approach is optimal!
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
❌ Bad: Track online users
|
||
if (user.isOnline) invalidate()
|
||
Problem: Complex, race conditions, doesn't save API calls
|
||
|
||
✅ Good: Invalidate everything (current)
|
||
invalidateAllCatalogs()
|
||
Result: Simple, correct, efficient
|
||
```
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
### 3️⃣ How many API calls does CDC save?
|
||
|
||
**Short Answer:** **98% reduction** in API calls!
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
WITHOUT CDC (5-minute TTL):
|
||
100 users × 3 catalog views/day = 300 API calls/day
|
||
Monthly: 9,000 API calls
|
||
|
||
WITH CDC (event-driven):
|
||
5 product changes/day × 1 API call = 5 API calls/day
|
||
Monthly: 150 API calls
|
||
|
||
SAVINGS: 8,850 API calls/month (98.3% reduction) 🎉
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### 4️⃣ Do we even need Salesforce API with CDC?
|
||
|
||
**Short Answer:** YES - CDC notifies, API fetches data.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
CDC Event contains:
|
||
✅ Notification that Product X changed
|
||
❌ Does NOT contain the new product data
|
||
|
||
You still need to:
|
||
1. Receive CDC event → Invalidate cache
|
||
2. Customer requests catalog → Cache miss
|
||
3. Fetch from Salesforce API → Get actual data
|
||
4. Store in cache → Serve to customer
|
||
```
|

## 📊 Comparison Table
|
||
|
||
| Metric | TTL (5 min) | CDC + Hybrid TTL | Improvement |
|
||
|--------|-------------|------------------|-------------|
|
||
| **API calls/day** | 300 | 5-7 | **98% less** |
|
||
| **API calls/month** | 9,000 | 150-210 | **98% less** |
|
||
| **Cache hit ratio** | ~0% | 95-99% | **Much better** |
|
||
| **Data freshness** | Up to 5 min stale | < 5 sec stale | **Real-time** |
|
||
| **Memory usage** | High (never expires) | Low (TTL cleanup) | **Efficient** |
|
||

|
||
|
||
## ⚙️ Recommended Configuration
|
||
|
||
```typescript
|
||
// Catalog Cache
|
||
CATALOG_TTL = 86400 // 24 hours
|
||
STATIC_TTL = 604800 // 7 days
|
||
ELIGIBILITY_TTL = 3600 // 1 hour
|
||
VOLATILE_TTL = 60 // 1 minute
|
||
|
||
// Order Cache
|
||
SUMMARY_TTL = 3600 // 1 hour
|
||
DETAIL_TTL = 7200 // 2 hours
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Why Hybrid TTL?**
|
||
- ✅ **Primary:** CDC events invalidate when data changes (real-time)
|
||
- ✅ **Backup:** TTL expires unused entries (memory cleanup)
|
||
- ✅ **Best of both:** Real-time freshness + memory efficiency

## 📈 Real-World Example
|
||
|
||
### Scenario: 100 Active Users, Internet Service Provider
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
Daily Activity:
|
||
- 100 users log in per day
|
||
- Each user views catalog 3 times
|
||
- Products change 5 times/day (price updates, new plans)
|
||
|
||
WITH CDC + Hybrid TTL:
|
||
|
||
8:00 AM - User 1 logs in
|
||
→ Cache miss (overnight TTL expired)
|
||
→ API call #1: Fetch catalog
|
||
→ Cache populated (24h TTL)
|
||
|
||
8:05 AM - Users 2-50 log in
|
||
→ Cache HIT (no API calls) ✅
|
||
|
||
10:30 AM - Product price updated in Salesforce
|
||
→ CDC event received
|
||
→ Cache invalidated (deleted)
|
||
|
||
10:32 AM - User 51 logs in
|
||
→ Cache miss (just invalidated)
|
||
→ API call #2: Fetch fresh catalog
|
||
→ Cache populated (24h TTL)
|
||
|
||
10:35 AM - Users 52-100 log in
|
||
→ Cache HIT (no API calls) ✅
|
||
|
||
... (3 more product changes during day)
|
||
|
||
End of Day:
|
||
Total API calls: 5 (one per product change)
|
||
Cache hit ratio: 95%
|
||
|
||
Next Morning (8:00 AM):
|
||
→ 24h TTL expired overnight
|
||
→ First user: Cache miss → API call
|
||
→ Subsequent users: Cache hit
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Monthly Stats:**
|
||
- API calls: ~150 (5/day × 30 days)
|
||
- Compared to 5-min TTL: 9,000 calls
|
||
- **Savings: 8,850 API calls (98% reduction)**

|
||
## ✅ Why Your Current Setup + Hybrid TTL is Perfect
|
||
|
||
### 1. CDC Handles Real-Time Changes ✅
|
||
```
|
||
Product changes → Instant invalidation (< 5 seconds)
|
||
Customer sees fresh data immediately
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### 2. TTL Handles Memory Cleanup ✅
|
||
```
|
||
Unused cache entries → Expire after 24h
|
||
Redis memory stays lean
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### 3. Offline Customers Don't Matter ✅
|
||
```
|
||
Customer offline 7 days:
|
||
- Day 2: Cache deleted (CDC or TTL)
|
||
- Day 8: Cache rebuilt on login
|
||
No stale data, no wasted resources
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### 4. Minimal API Calls ✅
|
||
```
|
||
5 product changes/day = 5 API calls
|
||
100 users share cached results
|
||
98% reduction vs TTL-only approach
|
||
```
|

||
## 🎓 Key Takeaways
|
||
|
||
1. **CDC deletes cache, doesn't update it** → Offline users don't accumulate stale data
|
||
2. **Global invalidation is correct** → Simpler and more efficient than selective
|
||
3. **98% API call reduction** → From 9,000/month to 150/month
|
||
4. **Still need Salesforce API** → CDC notifies, API fetches actual data
|
||
5. **Hybrid TTL is optimal** → Real-time freshness + memory efficiency
