Cache Management

Definitions

1. The operational handling of cache population, invalidation, sizing, warm-up, eviction, observability, and failure behavior. Good cache management matters because caches can improve performance dramatically or create hard-to-debug consistency bugs if treated as an afterthought.

   In plain English: The practice of keeping caches effective, correct, and manageable over time.

   Example: "The service had a fast cache, but weak cache management meant cold starts and mass invalidations still caused regular traffic spikes."
