Scalable Distributed In-Memory Cache Design

Design a High-Performance Distributed In-Memory Cache

Design a distributed in-memory key-value caching system capable of handling 1 million queries per second with sub-millisecond latency. The system must scale horizontally to accommodate 100TB of data, provide high availability in the event of node failures, and implement an efficient eviction strategy. Discuss your approach to data partitioning, handling hot keys, and maintaining cluster membership in a dynamic environment.

Scalable Distributed In-Memory Cache Design

Design a high-performance distributed cache system capable of handling 10M+ queries per second with sub-millisecond latency. The system must support horizontal scaling, handle node failures gracefully, and provide a strategy for mitigating hot keys and cache stampedes. Focus on the sharding mechanism, replication strategy, and how the system maintains high availability while ensuring efficient memory management.
