Abstract
Techniques are provided for microservice configuration information retrieval and storage using a generation-based cache. One method comprises obtaining, by a first microservice, a data item from a second microservice with a corresponding generation counter; maintaining, by the first microservice, the data item in a cache with the corresponding generation counter; invalidating, by the first microservice, one or more entries in the cache having a lower generation counter value than a current generation counter; and in response to a request for the data item, performing, by the first microservice: processing the requested data item, if the requested data item is in the cache after the invalidation; and if the requested data item is not in the cache after the invalidation: (i) retrieving the requested data item from the second microservice, (ii) processing the retrieved data item and (iii) placing the retrieved requested data item in the cache with a corresponding generation counter value.
