Resumo de Recurso

Questão 1

Questão
What is a primary reason for using a caching layer in a high-performance system?
Responda
  • To simplify database schema design.
  • To reduce the frequency of accessing the database disk.
  • To improve write throughput of the database.
  • To avoid using load balancers.

Questão 2

Questão
Why is a horizontally distributed caching layer advantageous?
Responda
  • It eliminates the need for a database.
  • It allows the caching layer to be scaled independently of the application servers.
  • It enables better enforcement of database constraints.
  • It reduces the number of application servers needed.

Questão 3

Questão
What role does a hash function play in a distributed caching system?
Responda
  • It ensures consistent cache invalidation.
  • It determines which cache server stores specific data.
  • It manages the redundancy of cache servers.
  • It calculates the expiration time for cached data.

Questão 4

Questão
What type of caching architecture keeps the cache local to application servers?
Responda
  • Independent caching fleet.
  • Integrated caching within application servers.
  • Hybrid caching model.
  • Disk-based caching system.

Questão 5

Questão
What is the "celebrity problem" in caching?
Responda
  • Difficulty in caching data for infrequently accessed keys.
  • High traffic to specific cached data causing uneven load distribution.
  • Inability to cache frequently updated information.
  • Issues with redundancy in cached data.

Questão 6

Questão
What is a significant concern when dealing with a cold-start cache problem?
Responda
  • Cache data not invalidating properly.
  • High initial traffic hitting the database until the cache is warmed up.
  • Inability to scale the cache horizontally.
  • Expired cache entries causing stale data.

Questão 7

Questão
Why is setting an appropriate expiration policy for cached data important?
Responda
  • To ensure the database schema remains consistent.
  • To balance between data freshness and cache effectiveness.
  • To allow caching of frequently updated data.
  • To reduce the need for redundancy in the cache.

Questão 8

Questão
What type of applications benefit the most from caching?
Responda
  • Applications with frequent write operations.
  • Applications with a high read-to-write ratio.
  • Applications requiring real-time data consistency.
  • Applications with low user traffic.

Questão 9

Questão
What is one approach to mitigate the cold-start problem in caching?
Responda
  • Using a write-through caching strategy.
  • Preloading the cache with historical data or simulated traffic before deployment.
  • Shortening the cache expiration time.
  • Disabling caching temporarily.
