 Write-through is a slow overall operation due to the write operation, but subsequent reads of just written data are fast. Users are generally more tolerant of latency when updating data than reading data. Data in the cache is not stale.

+## Disadvantages
+
+- When a new node is created due to failure or scaling, the new node will not cache entries until the entry is updated in the database. Cache-aside in conjunction with write through can mitigate this issue.
+- Most data written might never be read, which can be minimized with a TTL.

 # Refresh-ahead
 
-You can configure the cache to automatically refresh any recently accessed cache entry prior to its expiration. Refresh-ahead can result in reduced latency vs read-through if the cache can accurately predict which items are likely to be needed in the future.

 ## Disadvantage of refresh-ahead:
 - Not accurately predicting which items are likely to be needed in the future can result in reduced performance than without refresh-ahead.

 # Caching Strategies
+
+Since you can only store a limited amount of data in cache, you'll need to determine which cache update strategy works best for your use case. Here is the list of cache update strategies:

+- Cache-aside
+- Write-through
+- Write-behind
