Caching Strategies

Caching strategies are techniques used to store frequently accessed data temporarily, making it quicker to retrieve later. Imagine a library where popular books are kept at the front for easy access, rather than looking for them in the back. There are various methods, like storing data in memory (RAM) for quick access or saving it on hard drives for longer-term use. Common strategies include updating the cache when data changes or keeping it as fresh as possible. These practices help improve speed and efficiency in websites, applications, and systems, enhancing overall user experience by reducing wait times.
