What is the best way to cache API responses in a high traffic application?

I am building a public API that receives thousands of requests every hour. Some endpoints query large tables and generate aggregated reports. I already use Redis for sessions, but I am unsure how to design cache invalidation and cache expiration strategies. I also want to prevent stale data from confusing users while still improving performance. What caching patterns work well for production systems?
