Caching issues can be one of the hardest things to track down in a website. This is especially the case when you have external caches involved that can't be entirely replicated on a local stack, like AWS's ElastiCache Redis in clustered mode!
In this week's Lightning talk, I go through a case study on an investigation into Deadlocks and Render caching and why cache contexts are so important to get right. Check out the video below to find out how we were able to withstand 10x the throughput with smarter caching.
