Caching stores frequently accessed data closer to where it's needed to reduce latency and load on origin systems. Effective caching improves performance and scalability.
Key Concepts
Cache aside pattern
Write-through cache
Cache invalidation
TTL and evictions
Distributed caching
Common Use Cases
Session storage
API response caching
Database query caching
CDN caching
Browser caching
Best Practices
Implement proper invalidation
Use cache keys carefully
Consider cache size limits
Monitor hit rates
Layer caching (L1, L2)
Resources
Redis, Memcached, Varnish
Related Skills: redis, performance-optimization, database-design
