Testing cached data can be tricky ๐Ÿ˜• but tools like Redis, NodeJS, Docker, Jest, and Testcontainers make it easier! ๐Ÿ˜Š By using Docker to spin up a Redis container for each test, you get a clean ๐Ÿงผ cache instance. Jest allows you to write unit and integration tests ๐Ÿงช to validate caching logic and interactions with Redis. Testcontainers handles container management behind the scenes. Ultimately, this stack lets you test real-world caching scenarios โœ… thoroughly and consistently across environments. ๐Ÿ‘ So if you need to test your app's caching capabilities, this combo has you covered! ๐Ÿ’ช
