Caching with Redis Cache Server

We utilize Redis Cache server for caching, which offers several benefits:

• Improved performance by reducing database queries and network round-trips.
• Enhanced scalability as cached data can be quickly served to multiple users.
• Reduced load on the backend system, leading to better overall system performance.
• Efficient handling of frequently accessed data, resulting in faster response times.

Advantages of Real REST API Architecture

The API follows the principles of a real REST (Representational State Transfer) architecture, providing the following advantages:

• Scalability and extensibility through resource-based design and statelessness.
• Uniform interface for easy integration and development.
• Separation of concerns with clear client-server communication.
• Support for multiplerepresentations of data (e.g., JSON, XML), allowing flexibility for different clients.
• Cacheability of responses for improved performance and reduced server load.
• Support for hypermedia-driven navigation, enabling clients to discover and interact with resources dynamically.

Interaction with Postgres Database

The API interacts with a Postgres database, providing several benefits for data management and scalability:

• Relational database structure for efficient and organized storage of data.
• ACID (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability) properties for data integrity and transactional operations.
• Advanced querying capabilities, including powerful joins and aggregations.
• Scalability through horizontal and vertical scaling options, allowing for increased workload and user base.
• Data consistency and reliability, ensuring that information remains accurate and available.
