In write-behind, tha application does the following:
* Add/update entry in cache
* Asynchronously write entry to the data store, improving write performance
##### Disadvantage(s): write-behind
* There could be data loss if the cache goes down prior to its contents hitting the data store.
* It is more complex to implement write-behind than it is to implement cache-aside or write-through.
