I’m working on web app using nestJs/postgres/redis.
What is the best way (best data structure) to cache following postgres table (hierarchy) to Redis ?

space:

  • name
  • another attribute
  • users (one2many)

folders:

  • spaceId
  • name
  • users (one2many)

files:

  • folderId
  • spaceId
  • name
  • users (one2many).

I already tried to cache this using key-value where the key is hashed from request and value is response of say getAllMyFiles but there will be some problem
Say i want to cache The route:

/my-files

key: users:[USER_ID]:documents:[QUERY-HASH]

the problem is that:

  • i have to cache this for every user and thus the cache will get bigger
  • when updating one file i have to invalidate the entire files-cache for all the users

  1. I think that the best solution is to use Redis graph

  2. Could this be a good candidate for RedisJSON? You could store the space and all its hierarchy as a single JSON document.
