TimeSpan.FromHours(1) }); _memoryCache.Set(key, value, TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5)); return value; } } ``` ### Cache Invalidation Strategy ```csharp public class CacheInvalidationService { private readonly IDistributedCache _distributedCache; private readonly IMemoryCache _memoryCache; private readonly ILogger _logger; public async Task InvalidatePatternAsync(string pattern) { // Implement cache invalidation using Redis key pattern matching var keys = await GetKeysMatchingPatternAsync(pattern); var tasks = keys.Select(async key => { await _distributedCache.RemoveAsync(key); _memoryCache.Remove(key); _logger.LogDebug("Invalidated cache key: {Key}", key); }); await Task.WhenAll(tasks); } public async Task InvalidateVehicleDataAsync(int vehicleId) { var patterns = new[] { $"vehicle:{vehicleId}:*", $"dashboard:{vehicleId}:*", $"reports:{vehicleId}:*" }; foreach (var pattern in patterns) { await InvalidatePatternAsync(pattern); } } } ``` ### Implementation Tasks #### 1. Implement intelligent cache warming ```csharp public class CacheWarmupService : BackgroundService { protected override async Task ExecuteAsync(CancellationToken stoppingToken) { while (!stoppingToken.IsCancellationRequested) { await WarmupFrequentlyAccessedData(); await Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromHours(1), stoppingToken); } } private async Task WarmupFrequentlyAccessedData() { // Pre-load dashboard data for active users var activeUsers = await GetActiveUsersAsync(); var warmupTasks = activeUsers.Select(async user => { await _cacheService.GetAsync($"dashboard:{user.Id}", () => _dashboardService.GetDashboardDataAsync(user.Id)); }); await Task.WhenAll(warmupTasks); } } ``` #### 2.
