Caching is one of the most effective techniques for improving performance, scalability, and availability in software systems. Instead of repeatedly fetching data from a slower source such as a database, API, object storage, or another service, a cache stores frequently used data in a faster layer.

In Scalability for Dummies - Part 2: Database , we optimized the database using indexes, connection pools, replicas, and other techniques. But even a healthy database can become overloaded when users repeatedly request the same products, articles, profiles, and configuration data. This is where cach

Caching is one of the most important patterns for building scalable systems. It reduces latency, lowers database load, absorbs traffic spikes, and helps systems serve repeated requests faster.
