# Case Study: Skybound Asset Cache Busting

## 매 한 줄
> **"매 stale-asset bug 매 production"**. 매 Skybound (fictional internal codename) 매 CDN-cached JS bundle 매 user device 매 days-old version 의 root-cause hunt → 매 content-hash filename + immutable cache-control headers 의 conventional fix.

## 매 핵심

### 매 problem
- 매 deploy → 매 some users 매 broken UI (stale `app.js` mismatched with new `api.js` schema).
- 매 CDN-edge 매 7-day cache, browser 매 1-day cache, 매 union 매 race.

### 매 root cause
- 매 fixed filename `/static/app.js` 매 invalidation 매 manual.
- 매 `Cache-Control: max-age=86400` 매 too aggressive for mutable name.

### 매 fix layers
1. Content-hash in filename: `app.[hash].js`.
2. `Cache-Control: public, max-age=31536000, immutable` for hashed assets.
3. Short TTL on `index.html` (entry point) only.

## 💻 패턴

### Vite hashed output (default)
```ts
// vite.config.ts
export default {
  build: {
    rollupOptions: {
      output: {
        entryFileNames: 'assets/[name].[hash].js',
        chunkFileNames: 'assets/[name].[hash].js',
        assetFileNames: 'assets/[name].[hash][extname]',
      },
    },
  },
};
```

### CDN cache-control (Cloudflare worker)
```js
addEventListener('fetch', (e) => e.respondWith(handle(e.request)));
async function handle(req) {
  const url = new URL(req.url);
  const res = await fetch(req);
  const r = new Response(res.body, res);
  if (/\.[a-f0-9]{8,}\.(js|css|png|webp)$/.test(url.pathname)) {
    r.headers.set('Cache-Control', 'public, max-age=31536000, immutable');
  } else if (url.pathname.endsWith('.html') || url.pathname === '/') {
    r.headers.set('Cache-Control', 'public, max-age=60, must-revalidate');
  }
  return r;
}
```

### Service worker cache cleanup
```ts
self.addEventListener('activate', (e) => {
  e.waitUntil(
    caches.keys().then(keys =>
      Promise.all(keys.filter(k => k !== CURRENT_VERSION).map(k => caches.delete(k)))
    )
  );
});
```

### Deployment 매 atomic swap (S3 + CloudFront)
```bash
aws s3 sync ./dist s3://bucket --cache-control 'public,max-age=31536000,immutable' \
  --exclude 'index.html'
aws s3 cp ./dist/index.html s3://bucket/index.html \
  --cache-control 'public,max-age=60,must-revalidate'
aws cloudfront create-invalidation --distribution-id $ID --paths '/index.html' '/'
```

### Verification 매 post-deploy
```bash
curl -I https://app.example.com/assets/app.abc123.js | grep -i cache-control
# expect: cache-control: public, max-age=31536000, immutable
```

## 매 결정 기준
| Asset type | Strategy |
|---|---|
| Hashed JS/CSS/images | `immutable, max-age=1y` |
| HTML entry | `max-age=60, must-revalidate` |
| API JSON | `no-store` or `stale-while-revalidate` |

**기본값**: Vite/Webpack hashed output + 1y immutable for hashed, short TTL for HTML.

## 🔗 Graph
- 변형: [[ETag]]
- Adjacent: [[Vite]]

## 🤖 LLM 활용
**언제**: deploy-time stale-asset bug, CDN config debugging.
**언제 X**: server-rendered no-cache responses (caching irrelevant).

## ❌ 안티패턴
- **Fixed filenames + long cache**: 매 production-broken-on-deploy guarantee.
- **Cache-busting via querystring `?v=2`**: 매 some CDNs ignore query.
- **Forgetting HTML cache TTL**: hashed assets 매 useless if entry HTML cached.

## 🧪 검증 / 중복
- Verified (MDN Cache-Control, Vite docs, Web.dev caching guide).
- 신뢰도 B+.
