This enhancement adds the user's updated_at timestamp to the cache key generation in UserCacheService, enabling automatic cache busting when user data is modified. Changes: - Updated getCacheKey() to accept User object and include updated_at timestamp - Modified get(), put(), and invalidate() methods to work with User objects - Updated UserController to pass User object to cache methods - Added clarifying comments in UserObserver and User model Benefits: - Automatic cache invalidation when user data changes - Improved cache consistency and data freshness - Aligns with existing ETag implementation - Simplifies cache management logic

✅ Automatic cache invalidation - When user data changes, the
updated_attimestamp changes, resulting in a new cache key✅ Improved data consistency - Ensures stale data is never served from cache
✅ Aligns with existing patterns - Matches the
generateETag()implementation which already usesupdated_at✅ Simplified cache management - Reduces reliance on explicit invalidation calls
✅ Better cache efficiency - Old cache entries expire naturally via TTL
Cache Key Format
Before:
user:current:{userId}:{companyId}After:
user:current:{userUuid}:{companyId}:{updatedAtTimestamp}Example:
user:current:abc-123-def:company-456:1707619200Testing Recommendations
Backward Compatibility
This change is backward compatible. Old cache keys will naturally expire based on the configured TTL (default 15 minutes). No migration or manual cache clearing is required.
