Have you ever visited a website that was slow to load or experienced inconsistent performance? Caching can solve these issues and more. In this article, we'll explore caching, how it works, and where it can be applied to improve website performance.
We'll also discuss some common bottlenecks and scenarios where caching should be used. Whether you're a developer, DevOps, or end user, caching can play a role in improving your experience with web applications.
What is caching?
As defined on AWS’s site, a cache in computing, is a high-speed data storage layer which stores a subset of data, typically transient in nature, so that future requests for that data are served up faster than is possible by accessing the data’s primary storage location. Caching allows you to efficiently reuse previously retrieved or computed data.
When should we use caching?
Using a cache can be very useful. Here are some common scenarios where caching should be used:
When a website or application is slow to load
When infrastructure costs are too high
When infrastructure resource monitors display high values
When a website or application has inconsistencies in visits or load
When developers have done a poor job implementing existing features
