Test Methodologies

1. 24-Hour Stability Test

Purpose: Verify long-running stability, memory leaks, and consistent performance.

Continuous load with Zipfian distribution (α=0.99) for realistic hot-key patterns
95% read / 5% write workload ratio
Monitor memory growth every 3 seconds
Track hit rate variance over time
Zero tolerance for errors

Pass Criteria: Memory growth <50MB (24h) or <600MB (quick), hit rate variance <5% (24h) or <50% (quick), 0 errors

2. Cold Start Recovery Test

Purpose: Measure cache warm-up time from empty state.

Start with completely empty L1 cache
Measure time to first request completion
Track time to reach 50%, 80%, and 88% hit rates
Simulate realistic traffic patterns during warm-up

Pass Criteria: First request <100ms, 50% hit rate <30s, 80% hit rate <60s

3. Redis Failover Test

Purpose: Verify L1 cache can provide degraded service during Redis outage.

Warm up L1 cache with normal traffic
Simulate Redis disconnect (L1-only mode)
Measure hit rate using only L1 cache
Count requests that would succeed vs fail

Pass Criteria: L1-only hit rate >70% (production) or >50% (quick mode)

4. Write-Heavy (50/50) Test

Purpose: Verify performance with high write workloads.

50% read / 50% write workload (vs typical 95/5)
Compare baseline Redis-only vs Cachee
Measure throughput improvement
Track cache invalidation handling

Pass Criteria: Throughput improvement >1.0x (no regression), zero errors

5. Burst Traffic Test

Purpose: Verify handling of sudden traffic spikes.

Phase 1: Establish baseline load
Phase 2: Apply 10x concurrent burst
Phase 3: Measure recovery after burst
Track errors during spike

Pass Criteria: Zero errors during burst, recovery throughput >= baseline

Architecture Overview

Cachee Ultimate Architecture
// HOT PATH - ZERO OVERHEAD
if (isRead) {
  prefetcher.recordAccess(key);  // O(1) - just array.push()

  const val = l1.get(key);       // Single lookup
  if (val !== undefined) {
    return val;                  // 88%+ of reads - NO AWAIT
  }

  return await redis.get(key);   // Only await for misses
}

// BACKGROUND - Non-blocking
setInterval(() => {
  // Batch process access queue
  while (queue.length > 0) {
    predictor.recordAccess(queue.shift());
  }

  // Make predictions, prefetch
  const preds = predictor.predict(lastKey);
  if (preds) prefetchBatch(preds);
}, adaptiveInterval);  // 5-50ms based on load

            

Configuration

const CONFIG = {
  // L1 Cache
  l1MaxItems: 75000,              // 75% of keyspace

  // Workload
  readPercent: 95,                // High read ratio (typical)
  writePercent: 5,
  zipfianAlpha: 0.99,             // Hot key distribution

  // AI (background only)
  prefetchThreshold: 0.25,        // 25% confidence to prefetch
  adaptiveInterval: '5-50ms',     // Based on load
  maxPatterns: 100000,            // Memory control

  // Redis
  enableAutoPipelining: true,
