Look inside
In this liveProject, you’ll improve the caching mechanism between a Catalog API and microservices. This will reduce the number of unnecessary requests, and reduce costs from your cloud provider. You’ll explore near cache, remote cache, and proxy cache mechanisms, then evaluate the pros-and-cons of each approach.

project author

Andres Sacco

Andres Sacco is a technical leader at Prisma who has experience with many different languages including Java, PHP, and Node.js. At his previous job, Andres helped to find alternative ways to optimize data transfer between microservices, which reduced the cost of infrastructure by 55%. Before introducing these optimizations, he investigated different testing methods for better coverage than unit tests of the microservices. He also dictated internal courses about new technologies and has written articles on Medium. Andres is a co-author of the book Beginning Scala 3, from Apress.
