to your stack & domain
Implement application, CDN, database, or distributed caching for a defined high-read or latency-sensitive workload — with invalidation designed first.
How this operator works
every way of working, already decidedOwns the system, not the ticket
Takes end-to-end ownership of a service or surface. Design, delivery, on-call. And is measured on outcomes, not hours.
Embedded, async-first, instrumented
Works inside your repos, your CI and your rituals. Daily written standups, decisions logged. No status-meeting tax.
Runbooks, canaries, reversible deploys
Every change gated and reversible. Incidents get a timeline and a postmortem; nothing ships without a rollback.
Plugged into your Slack & rituals
Joins standups and retros, reports weekly against the goal. You get an operator, not a queue.
Brings a pre-wired stack or adopts yours
Infrastructure and observability as code by default. No bespoke setup tax to absorb.
Scoped, gated, reversible
Week-1 shadow, week-2 ownership, swap on request inside the trial window. No long-tail handover risk.
Overview
Caching done casually trades one incident class for another: stale data, stampedes, and invalidation bugs. This sprint implements caching deliberately for a defined workload — choosing the right layers, from CDN to application to distributed store to database, and designing invalidation and TTL policy before any cache is written to.
Implementation covers the infrastructure, the integration points, stampede protection, and warmup, verified against production-shaped traffic. The finish state: the workload served at target latency with measured hit rates, documented invalidation rules, and dashboards showing cache health.
What's included
Cache strategy & placement
The workload's read patterns analyzed and the right layers chosen — CDN, application, distributed store, database — for where each read should be served.
Invalidation design
Keys, TTLs, and invalidation rules designed before any cache is written to, against each read path's real freshness requirement.
Implementation & integration
The cache infrastructure stood up and integrated, with stampede protection and warmup so a cold cache never becomes an outage.
Hit-rate verification
Hit rates and latency measured against production-shaped traffic, with dashboards showing cache health after handover.
How it works
- Scope. Analyze the workload's read patterns, choose the layers, and design keys, TTLs, and invalidation.
- Build. Implement and integrate the cache layers, protect against stampedes, and measure hit rates.
- Handover. Dashboards, invalidation documentation, and an operational runbook.
Part of every Delivery Plan
The Cache Architecture Implementation is a menu item on the Scrums.com delivery catalog, available at every plan tier. Add it to your plan backlog and your delivery team schedules it like any other item — scoped, tracked, and reported through the SEOP. See Delivery Plan Tiers.
FAQs
Will caching fix our slow queries?
Only if hit rates are high. If the workload's reads are too varied to cache well, the honest fix is the Database Query Optimization menu item first — the scoping analysis tells you which within days, not weeks.
What do we need to provide?
Traffic data for the workload, infrastructure access, and clear answers on data-freshness requirements per read path — the one input only your team has.
What happens when data changes shape?
Invalidation rules are documented per read path, so new fields and flows extend the design instead of breaking it. The dashboards expose falling hit rates early if a new pattern needs its own treatment.
