Distributed Caching

Distributed caching is a system where data is stored temporarily across multiple servers or locations instead of a single place. This setup helps improve the speed and efficiency of data access because requests for information can be handled by the closest or least busy cache. It also ensures better reliability; if one cache fails, others can still serve the data. Think of it like a network of shared, quick-access storage points that work together to deliver data faster and more reliably, especially for websites or applications with high traffic or large data needs.
