A data recipient configured to access a data source may exhibit improved performance by caching data items received from the data source. However, the cache may become stale unless the data recipient is informed of data source updates. Many subscription mechanisms are specialized for the particular data recipient and/or data source, which may cause an affinity of the data recipient for the data source, thereby reducing scalability of the data sources and/or data recipients. A cache synchronization service may accept requests from data recipients to subscribe to the data source, and may promote cache freshness by notifying subscribers when particular data items are updated at the data source. Upon detecting an update of the data source involving one or more data items, the cache synchronization service may request each subscriber of the data source to remove the stale cached representation of the updated data item(s) from its cache.
