A.Bound fallback concurrency to the database's sustainable capacity
B.Increase web replicas until every miss is a separate database request
C.Retain every value indefinitely without considering freshness or recovery of an empty cache
D.Allow unlimited parallel fallback queries because the cache is unavailable
E.Coalesce requests or stagger expiries and prewarm useful data

Show the answer and explanation

✓ Correct answers

Bound fallback concurrency to the database's sustainable capacity
Coalesce requests or stagger expiries and prewarm useful data

Coalescing, staggered expiry, prewarming, and bounded fallback limit a miss storm. Unlimited fallback and more independent requests increase pressure; indefinite retention ignores freshness and does not restore missing cache data after restart. Source guide: PDF page(s) 53.
