Caching and Frameworks

Intro to caching and caching frameworks.

What Are the Trade-Offs Involved in Caching?

Caching is always based on compromise; a trade-off between performance, scalability, and accuracy using the various resources available. Ease of configuration is an important secondary consideration. We should consider how we balance these factors to achieve the best performance possible.

Application performance depends on efficient data distribution. It's crucial to ensure fast data access for maximum application performance. It pays to build a cache and avoid unnecessary round-trips to the datastore. By reducing traffic between the different layers of an application, you can substantially diminish the size and cost of the installation and greatly enhance the system's responsiveness.
