# Phase 2.1 Complete: Basic Caching Layer
## Summary
Successfully implemented a 5-minute TTL caching layer for QSO statistics, achieving **601x faster** query performance on cache hits (12ms → 0.02ms).
## Changes Made
### 1. Extended Cache Service
**File**: `src/backend/services/cache.service.js`
Added QSO statistics caching functionality alongside existing award progress caching:
**New Features**:
- `getCachedStats(userId)` - Get cached stats with hit/miss tracking
- `setCachedStats(userId, data)` - Cache statistics data
- `invalidateStatsCache(userId)` - Invalidate stats cache for a user
- `getCacheStats()` - Enhanced with stats cache metrics (hits, misses, hit rate)
**Cache Statistics Tracking**:
```javascript
// Track hits and misses for both award and stats caches
const awardCacheStats = { hits: 0, misses: 0 };
const statsCacheStats = { hits: 0, misses: 0 };
// Automatic tracking in getCached functions
export function recordStatsCacheHit() { statsCacheStats.hits++; }
export function recordStatsCacheMiss() { statsCacheStats.misses++; }
```
**Cache Configuration**:
- **TTL**: 5 minutes (300,000ms)
- **Storage**: In-memory Map (fast, no external dependencies)
- **Cleanup**: Automatic expiration check on each access
### 2. Updated QSO Statistics Function
**File**: `src/backend/services/lotw.service.js:496-517`
Modified `getQSOStats()` to use caching:
```javascript
export async function getQSOStats(userId) {
// Check cache first
const cached = getCachedStats(userId);
if (cached) {
return cached; // <1ms cache hit
}
// Calculate stats from database (3-12ms cache miss)
const [basicStats, uniqueStats] = await Promise.all([...]);
const stats = { /* ... */ };
// Cache results for future queries
setCachedStats(userId, stats);
return stats;
}
```
### 3. Cache Invalidation Hooks
**Files**: `src/backend/services/lotw.service.js`, `src/backend/services/dcl.service.js`
Added automatic cache invalidation after QSO syncs:
**LoTW Sync** (`lotw.service.js:385-386`):
```javascript
// Invalidate award and stats cache for this user since QSOs may have changed
const deletedCache = invalidateUserCache(userId);
invalidateStatsCache(userId);
logger.debug(`Invalidated ${deletedCache} cached award entries and stats cache for user ${userId}`);
```
**DCL Sync** (`dcl.service.js:413-414`):
```javascript
// Invalidate award cache for this user since QSOs may have changed
const deletedCache = invalidateUserCache(userId);
invalidateStatsCache(userId);
logger.debug(`Invalidated ${deletedCache} cached award entries and stats cache for user ${userId}`);
```
## Test Results
### Test Environment
- **Database**: SQLite3 (src/backend/award.db)
- **Dataset Size**: 8,339 QSOs
- **User ID**: 1 (test user)
- **Cache TTL**: 5 minutes
### Performance Results
#### Test 1: First Query (Cache Miss)
```
Query time: 12.03ms
Stats: total=8339, confirmed=8339
Cache hit rate: 0.00%
```
#### Test 2: Second Query (Cache Hit)
```
Query time: 0.02ms
Cache hit rate: 50.00%
✅ Cache hit! Query completed in <1ms
```
**Speedup**: 601.5x faster than database query!
#### Test 3: Data Consistency
```
✅ Cached data matches fresh data
```
#### Test 4: Cache Performance
```
Cache hit rate: 50.00% (2 queries: 1 hit, 1 miss)
Stats cache size: 1
```
#### Test 5: Multiple Cache Hits (10 queries)
```
10 queries: avg=0.00ms, min=0.00ms, max=0.00ms
Cache hit rate: 91.67% (11 hits, 1 miss)
✅ Excellent average query time (<5ms)
```
#### Test 6: Cache Status
```
Total cached items: 1
Valid items: 1
Expired items: 0
TTL: 300 seconds
✅ No expired cache items (expected)
```
### All Tests Passed ✅
## Performance Comparison
### Query Time Breakdown
| Scenario | Time | Speedup |
|----------|------|---------|
| **Database Query (no cache)** | 12.03ms | 1x (baseline) |
| **Cache Hit** | 0.02ms | **601x faster** |
| **10 Cached Queries** | ~0.00ms avg | **600x faster** |
### Real-World Impact
**Before Caching** (Phase 1 optimization only):
- Every page view: 3-12ms database query
- 10 page views/minute: 30-120ms total DB time/minute
**After Caching** (Phase 2.1):
- First page view: 3-12ms (cache miss)
- Subsequent page views: <0.1ms (cache hit)
- 10 page views/minute: 3-12ms + 9×0.02ms = ~3.2ms total DB time/minute
**Database Load Reduction**: ~96% for repeated stats requests
### Cache Hit Rate Targets
| Scenario | Expected Hit Rate | Benefit |
|----------|-----------------|---------|
| Single user, 10 page views | 90%+ | 90% less DB load |
| Multiple users, low traffic | 50-70% | 50-70% less DB load |
| High traffic, many users | 70-90% | 70-90% less DB load |
## Cache Statistics API
### Get Cache Stats
```javascript
import { getCacheStats } from './cache.service.js';
const stats = getCacheStats();
console.log(stats);
```
**Output**:
```json
{
"total": 1,
"valid": 1,
"expired": 0,
"ttl": 300000,
"hitRate": "91.67%",
"awardCache": {
"size": 0,
"hits": 0,
"misses": 0
},
"statsCache": {
"size": 1,
"hits": 11,
"misses": 1
}
}
```
### Cache Invalidation
```javascript
import { invalidateStatsCache } from './cache.service.js';
// Invalidate stats cache after QSO sync
await invalidateStatsCache(userId);
```
### Clear All Cache
```javascript
import { clearAllCache } from './cache.service.js';
// Clear all cached items (for testing/emergency)
const clearedCount = clearAllCache();
```
## Cache Invalidation Strategy
### Automatic Invalidation
Cache is automatically invalidated when:
1. **LoTW sync completes** - `lotw.service.js:386`
2. **DCL sync completes** - `dcl.service.js:414`
3. **Cache expires** - After 5 minutes (TTL)
### Manual Invalidation
```javascript
// Invalidate specific user's stats
invalidateStatsCache(userId);
// Invalidate all user's cached data (awards + stats)
invalidateUserCache(userId); // From existing code
// Clear entire cache (emergency/testing)
clearAllCache();
```
## Benefits
### Performance
- **Cache Hit**: <0.1ms (601x faster than DB)
- **Cache Miss**: 3-12ms (no overhead from checking cache)
- **Zero Latency**: In-memory cache, no network calls
### Database Load
- **96% reduction** for repeated stats requests
- **50-90% reduction** expected in production (depends on hit rate)
- **Scales linearly**: More cache hits = less DB load
### Memory Usage
- **Minimal**: 1 cache entry per active user (~500 bytes)
- **Bounded**: Automatic expiration after 5 minutes
- **No External Dependencies**: Uses JavaScript Map
### Simplicity
- **No Redis**: Pure JavaScript, no additional infrastructure
- **Automatic**: Cache invalidation built into sync operations
- **Observable**: Built-in cache statistics for monitoring
## Success Criteria
**Cache hit time <1ms** - Achieved: 0.02ms (50x faster than target)
**5-minute TTL** - Implemented: 300,000ms TTL
**Automatic invalidation** - Implemented: Hooks in LoTW/DCL sync
