##### Disadvantage(s): refresh-ahead
* Not accurately predicting which items are likely to be needed in the future can result in reduced performance than without refresh-ahead.

* Need to maintain consistency between caches and the source of truth such as the database through [cache invalidation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cache_algorithms).
