Description
Phil Karlton once said, There are only two hard things in Computer Science:
cache invalidation and naming things.
This talk is about the value of nothing. I will discuss the success of
building a cache for app performance, but how at one point nothing took
down production. You will learn factors to consider when caching for APIs
including cache storage, api design, cache invalidation, and serialization
(of null values).
