So Cache Policy in API-M is actually KVM Cache?

Awesome, great video.. I did not know this was existed.. !!!

Hi, How can I connect redis memorystore from inside a VM in compute engine? I can use telnet to talk to the redis instance, but unable to do the same from inside the cloud shell editor

Would improving the API also work with putting up a CDN instead of a Redis cache? That way the data is always fast at hand, and when there's an update the CDN cache could be busted when updating the DB right? 🤔

Nice demo. Where is the VPC_CONNECTOR used in the code?

How can you access the redis-instance while developing locally given it's in a VPC?

After trying to create my VPC connector I got an error. "Operation failed insufficient quota in region"

I don't think you are using Read-Through. It is rather Cache-Aside strategy. Not sure about write strategy because you don't share how that is being done.

But thank for the demo!

Who else finds dates and times in the menu bar on videos annoying.

Did you use PUT instead of PATCH for the request?
Still they say DSA is important to crack interviews in FAANG. Just mocking.

no explanation of fields, what kind of demo is this
