All You Have To Know About Caching Types, Strategies and Popular Tools
In computing, a cache is a hardware or software component that stores data so that future requests for that data can be served faster; the data stored in a cache might be the result of an earlier computation or a copy of data stored elsewhere.
In other words, it is a a technique to store the frequently used data in tempoprary storage to reduce the workload of the data source. This simple technique can be a powerful resource to optimize the overall system and save costs. The main benefits of the Caching are:
- reducing the latency
- saving unnecessary requests to the data source
- improving the overall performance
- cost saving
Caching can be implemented in different levels of the application. Depending on the use case it can be used in 5 different layers.
Client-Side Caching…
Based on the HTTP cache header, browser or client can store static data temporarily as a cache. For Example, the response to some heavy lifting GET requests can be stored in browser for further reprocessing. This…
