Inconsistent Data Post-Commit in Mithril Cache

Question

Mithril Cache CoherenceThe goal is to confirm the precise timing of asynchronous cache updates following a successful database commit.Constraints and UncertaintyThe system's cache invalidation strategy is dependent on defined transaction boundaries, but the exact timing of asynchronous updates post-commit remains an operational uncertainty.Does the commit guarantee immediate cache invalidation across all replicas?What is the documented latency window for asynchronous cache propagation?

Cache Inconsistency Post-CommitConfirmed FactA successful database commit does not guarantee immediate, synchronous cache invalidation across all distributed replicas. This is a characteristic of asynchronous propagation in distributed systems, not a failure of the commit itself.Likely ExplanationThe observed data inconsistency is due to the documented latency window inherent in asynchronous cache update mechanisms. The database transaction commits first, and the subsequent cache invalidation/update event propagates across the cluster over time.Resolution StepsIdentify the specific distributed caching provider integrated with the Mithril setup.Review that provider's configuration for replication/invalidation timing guarantees.Instrument logging to measure the time delta between the database commit success signal and the cache update receipt on different replicas.Diagnostic RequirementTo refine the recommendation, what is the specific caching provider being used (e.g., Redis, Hazelcast, etc.) alongside Mithril?
