🎯 System Scenario & Requirements
System Goal
Multi-tier caching and replicated storage pipeline ensuring fast reads and transactional consistency.
Actors & Components
- Application Workers
- Volatile Memory Tier
- Persistent Disk Tier
- Worker Process
- In-Memory Cache
- Primary Database
Functional Requirements
- Multi-tier caching and replicated storage pipeline ensuring fast reads and transactional consistency.
- The system topology organizes components across groups: Application Workers, Volatile Memory Tier, Persistent Disk Tier.
- Each component maintains isolated responsibilities to protect system throughput.
Constraints & Assumptions
- The source does not isolate a separate failure mode.
- Limits that matter for the scenario are called out in the stage decisions above.
⚡ Execution Stages & Decision Trace
Stage 1 — Stage 1 — Data Flow & Inter-Service Invariants
- In-memory caching handles high-frequency read spikes, reserving disk transactions strictly for state modifications.
Applies caching to the decision above.
