Implement Cache Invalidation Endpoint with IP-Restricted Access #32

Closed rishabhkailey closed 8 months ago

rishabhkailey commented 9 months ago

Description:

Enabling proactive cache management and security:

Create cache invalidation endpoint:
- Develop an endpoint that, when triggered, clears the existing cached queries, ensuring data freshness and consistency.
Implement IP-based access restriction:
- Configure Nginx to limit access to this endpoint to authorized IP addresses, likely within private networks, for enhanced security.
- Prevent unauthorized cache manipulation and potential attacks.

Key benefits:

Job integration: Streamline workflows by automatically clearing the cache upon completion of data population jobs.

Requirements:

Develop cache invalidation endpoint: Implement the endpoint's functionality to clear cached queries effectively.
Configure Nginx access restrictions: Set up Nginx rules to allow access only from specified IP addresses, ensuring security.
Document usage guidelines: Provide clear instructions for authorized users on how and when to trigger cache invalidation.
