    Architectural Caching Patterns for Kubernetes with Rafal Leszko

    virtual

    Kubernetes brings new ideas on how to organize the caching layer for your applications. You can still use the old-but-good client-server topology, but now there is much more than that. This session will start with the known distributed caching topologies: embedded, client-server, and cloud. Then, I'll present Kubernetes-only caching strategies, including:

    • Sidecar Caching
    • Reverse Proxy Caching with Nginx
    • Reverse Proxy Sidecar Caching with Hazelcast
    • Envoy-level caching with Service Mesh

    In this session you'll see:

    • A walk-through of all caching topologies you can use in Kubernetes
    • Pros and Cons of each solution
    • The future of caching in container-based environments
