Figma's Next-Gen Data Caching Platform: Overcoming Scalability Challenges with FigCache

FigCache, a stateless proxy service, acts as a unified Redis data plane, centralizing traffic routing and enhancing security and observability. Since its rollout, Figma's caching layer has achieved six nines of uptime, a new reliability milestone.
