🔧 Technical Implementation Details

Cache Architecture

Request
  ↓
Check Redis Cache
  ├─ Hit (95%) → Return instantly (<5ms)
  └─ Miss (5%) → Query Database → Cache Result
  ↓
Response

Session Flow with Caching

User Login
  ↓
BetterAuth creates session
  ↓
Session stored in PostgreSQL
  ↓
Session cached in Redis (7 days)
  ↓
Subsequent requests:
  - Check Redis first (<5ms)
  - Avoid database query
  - Automatic expiration after 7 days

Configuration Caching

Admin Updates Settings
  ↓
Update PostgreSQL
  ↓
Delete Redis cache (admin:setup)
  ↓
Next request fetches fresh data
  ↓
Cache for 5 minutes
  ↓
All subsequent requests use cache
