High Cache Miss Rate

Diagnose and fix high cache miss rates

High Cache Miss Rate

Symptoms

  • Cache hit rate below expected threshold
  • Database queries not being cached
  • TTL expiring too quickly
  • Diagnostic Steps

  • Check cache metrics:
  • CacheMetrics metrics = cacheService.getMetrics();
    log.info("Hit rate: {}%", metrics.getHitRate() * 100);
  • Verify cache keys are consistent:
  • // Bad: Different key each time
    cache.get("user:" + user.hashCode());
    
    // Good: Consistent key
    cache.get("user:" + user.getId());

    Common Causes

  • TTL too short - Increase TTL for stable data
  • Key collisions - Use unique, consistent keys
  • Memory pressure - Increase cache size or use eviction policy
  • Serialization issues - Ensure objects are serializable
