Caching for Systems Analysts

Caching may seem like a purely technical topic, but in reality it’s often the analyst who must foresee where data can become outdated and how that will affect users.

In this talk, I’ll explain:

• the different types of caches;

• how they differ from one another;

• where their use tends to “explode” in production, and how to account for caching properly in requirements.

Why this matters for analysts:

Caching-related mistakes lead to bugs that can’t be “fixed with a button” — and users blame the entire system, not the cache layer.

An analyst can prevent such situations long before development even starts.
