Hi team! I love this way of caching items! In the video you set up a cache on the user_activity_text, referenced by the user ID. You invalidate this cache after 3600 seconds.

Couldn't we instead create a Doctrine listener, which, when a user adds / deletes a comment, then we invalidate the 'user_activity_text' cache referenced by that user?

In general, would managing the timeout manually using Doctrine listeners be a good solution?

I also appreciate the fact that you put forward the fact of creating a cache key per user, I was wondering if this was relevant or if we should have a cache for all users!

Hey Kiuega

Those are great questions. I think you can implement that listener and do what you say, it should work but you must be aware that Doctrine's listeners are not triggered when you run a custom query, i.e. when you don't create your query via the QueryBuilder. Another thing to consider is code clarity. It may not be obvious for other developers on your team how the cache it's cleared out. Perhaps you would prefer to manually clear the cache directly on the remove/add comment endpoints.

Cheers!
