Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for lazy tracking mechanisms for web caching systems are provided. The lazy tracking mechanism may track and perform asynchronous (async) computation of dirty records for client-side caching mechanisms. The async computation of dirty records may include tracking or accounting for invalidated records relevant to a particular client or user system. Invalidation messages may be sent to client/user systems in response to receipt of a request for updated records, or in response to a request for a particular item. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Lazy tracking of user system web cache

Techniques are disclosed relating to invalidating keys in a cache. In some embodiments, a computer system may implement a cache for a data store, where the cache stores a data set and is organized such that a stored data item of the data set is specified by a corresponding key having one or more portions. The computer system may store metadata for the cache, where the metadata includes nodes organized in a hierarchy. The computer system may receive a request to invalidate one or more keys of the cache, and may invalidate a particular node within the metadata based on a key value corresponding to the request.
