Architecture

Definition:Caching

Caching is the practice of storing copies of data in high-speed temporary storage to fulfill subsequent requests faster.

Detailed Technical Explanation

Implemented at multiple system layers: browser caching, edge CDN caching, in-memory Redis caching, and database query caching.

Business Perspective

Caching reduces server infrastructure costs, speeds up page load times, and improves user experience.

Technical Perspective

Requires defining clear cache key eviction rules (LRU) and HTTP `Cache-Control` header directives.

Real-World Example

Caching product catalog query results in Redis for 10 minutes to reduce database read load.

Common Architectural Mistakes

  • Caching Stale Dynamic Data: Failing to invalidate cached keys when underlying database records are updated.
