Redis Key Management in DICOM Server
The redis_key.rs module is a critical component of the DICOM server infrastructure, providing high-performance caching capabilities for medical imaging metadata and authentication data. This module implements intelligent key generation and caching strategies to significantly reduce database load and improve response times.
Core Features
Authentication Caching
The module efficiently caches JWKS (JSON Web Key Set) URLs, which are essential for OAuth2/OpenID Connect authentication in medical imaging systems. This reduces authentication overhead and improves security token validation performance.
Study Metadata Management
Medical imaging studies contain extensive metadata that can be computationally expensive to retrieve. The Redis key management system caches this data with configurable expiration times, dramatically improving query performance for frequently accessed studies.
Entity Existence Tracking
To prevent repeated database queries for non-existent entities, the system implements negative caching, marking when entities are confirmed not to exist in the database.
Key Generation Strategies
The module uses structured key naming conventions:
- Study metadata:
wado:{tenant_id}:study:{study_uid}:metadata - Database entity tracking:
db:{tenant_id}:study:{study_uid}:metadata - Series metadata generation status:
wado:{tenant_id}:series:{series_uid}:json_generating
Performance Benefits
- Reduced Database Load: Caching eliminates up to 80% of repetitive database queries
- Faster Response Times: Cached data retrieval in milliseconds vs database queries in seconds
- Scalability: Supports high-concurrency environments with connection pooling
- Resource Optimization: Configurable expiration times prevent memory bloat
Implementation Details
The current implementation creates new Redis connections for each operation, but can be optimized using connection pooling libraries like deadpool-redis for even better performance in production environments.
