Read-through cache

How does read-through caching differ from cache-aside?
Options
  1. 1In read-through the cache library itself loads from the DB on a miss, while cache-aside has the application manage the load-and-fill
  2. 2Read-through and cache-aside behave identically; both place load-and-fill logic inside the application code
  3. 3Read-through serves every request from memory, so it needs no backing database behind the cache layer at all
  4. 4Cache-aside cannot honor per-key TTLs, since expiry lives only inside the read-through library and not the app
