INVENTORY CACHE

摘要

The present disclosure extends to maintaining an item inventory status at an inventory cache management system. The inventory cache may be refreshed regularly by a threshold-based triggering mechanism. In embodiments, as item inventory breaches certain thresholds, the inventory cache may be refreshed with increased frequency to mitigate overselling or underselling scenarios and reduce overall network traffic for items having relatively high inventory levels.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method of updating a store inventory cache management system, comprising:
at a store inventory database module, receiving an item inventory level quantity from at least one individual store database; at the store inventory database module, comparing the item inventory level quantity with an item high threshold; if the item inventory level quantity is less than the item high threshold, transmitting a Limited Stock inventory status from the store inventory database module to a store inventory cache; at a store inventory data ingestion layer within the store inventory cache, processing the Limited Stock inventory status; at a data store within the store inventory cache, storing the Limited Stock inventory status; at an inventory availability orchestration layer, receiving a data request from a front end server; at the inventory availability orchestration layer, determining if the data request is for data related to the Limited Stock inventory status; and at the inventory availability orchestration layer, calling the store inventory cache for the Limited Stock inventory status according to the data request; and transmitting the Limited Stock inventory status to the front end server in response to the data request.
