Integrate Redis Cache in Your Spring Boot Application 1745806895

Redis Cache is an in-memory data store that enhances data retrieval speed in Spring Boot applications by reducing database load. It offers benefits such as performance boost, scalability, support for complex data types, and easy integration with minimal configuration. Key annotations like @Cacheable, @CachePut, and @CacheEvict are used to manage caching effectively within the service layer.

What is Redis Cache ?
Redis (Remote Dictionary Server) is an in-memory data
store that is often used as a cache layer to speed up data
retrieval. In Spring Boot, we can easily integrate Redis
using Spring Data Redis and annotations like @Cacheable,
@CachePut, and @CacheEvict.

Instead of hitting the database every time, frequently


accessed data is stored in Redis, leading to faster response
times and reduced database load.

Why use Redis Cache?


✅ Performance Boost: Redis is lightning fast because it
stores data in-memory rather than disk-based storage.

✅ Scalability: Redis can handle millions of requests per


second, making it perfect for highly scalable microservices
architectures.

✅ Support for Complex Data Types: Strings, Lists, Hashes,


Sets, Sorted Sets – Redis is versatile!

✅ Ease of Integration: Spring Boot and Redis play very well


together with minimal configuration using
application.properties or application.yml.
Configuring Redis Cache in
Spring Boot
🛠 First: Dependency needed for Redis Cache
Add this in your pom.xml:

<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-cache</artifactId>
</dependency>

And don't forget to enable caching in your main


application class:

You also need a running Redis Server (local or cloud).

⚙ application.properties setup:
Service Layer with Cache Annotations
1. @Cacheable()

@Cacheable(value = "users", key = "#id"): Caches the result of the


method based on the id of the user. If the cache already contains
this user, it returns the cached value instead of querying the
database.

2. @CachePut()

@CachePut(value = "users", key = "#user.id"): This annotation always


runs the method and updates the cache with the new user data after
saving it to the database.

3. @CacheEvict()

@CacheEvict(value = "users", key = "#id"): When a user is deleted,


the cache entry for that user is evicted, ensuring that stale data isn't
used.
