Multi-Layer Caching Strategy
L1 - Browser Cache
• Service Worker caching
• LocalStorage for user preferences
• IndexedDB for offline data
• HTTP cache headers (1-24h TTL)
L2 - CDN Cache
• CloudFlare edge caching
• Static asset optimization
• Image transformations
• Geographic distribution
L3 - Redis Cache
• Session management
• API response caching
• User-specific data
• Real-time analytics
Redis Cache Configuration
// Cache configuration with different TTL strategies
const cacheConfig = {
// User sessions - 24 hours
session: { ttl: 86400, prefix: 'sess:' },
// API responses - 1 hour with background refresh
api: { ttl: 3600, prefix: 'api:', backgroundRefresh: true },
// AI model responses - 6 hours
aiResults: { ttl: 21600, prefix: 'ai:' },
// User analytics - 30 minutes
analytics: { ttl: 1800, prefix: 'analytics:' },
// Learning progress - 15 minutes
progress: { ttl: 900, prefix: 'progress:' }
};
// Smart cache invalidation
class CacheManager {
async invalidateUserData(userId) {
const patterns = [
`api:user:${userId}:*`,
`progress:${userId}:*`,
`analytics:${userId}:*`
];
await this.deletePatterns(patterns);
}

Performance Targets & Monitoring
Performance Targets
Monitoring & Observability
Security & Compliance Framework
Security Layers
Network Security
• WAF with DDoS protection
• SSL/TLS 1.3 encryption
• IP whitelisting for admin
Application Security
• OAuth 2.0 + JWT authentication
• Role-based access control (RBAC)
• API rate limiting
Data Security
• AES-256 encryption at rest
• PII data anonymization
• Secure key management (HSM)
Compliance Standards
Security Monitoring
// Security event monitoring
const securityEvents = {
loginAttempts: {
threshold: 5,
window: '5m',
action: 'temp_lockout'
},
apiAbuseDetection: {
