Abstract

Provided herein are systems, methods and computer readable media for providing an out of band cache mechanism for ensuring availability of data. An example system may include a client device configured to, in response to determining requested data is not available in a cache, access the requested data from a data source, transmit, to a cache mechanism, an indication that the requested data is unavailable in the cache, the indication configured to be placed in a queue as an element pointing to the requested data, a cache mechanism configured to receive an indication of requested data, determine whether an element, the element indicative of the requested data, exists in a queue, and in an instance in which the element is not present in the queue, placing the element in the queue, the queue being a list of elements, each indicative of requested data needing to be placed in the cache.
