In the fast-paced world of web development, performance is key. Imagine your application as a speedy superhero, zooming through tasks in the blink of an eye. But even superheroes need their tricks, and one of the best tricks in the developer’s arsenal is caching.

What is Caching?

Think of caching as your brain’s ability to remember things quickly. You don’t need to solve a math problem every time you’re asked about 2+2; you remember it’s 4. Similarly, caching allows your application to remember frequently accessed data so it doesn’t have to fetch or compute it every time.

There are two types of caching we can do in our applications.

1. Memory Caching.

• It Stores data in the system’s RAM for super-fast access.
• The advantage is Lightning-fast access times.
• The disadvantage is limited by system RAM and data…
