Description: Caching is a fundamental process in computing that involves storing frequently accessed data in a temporary storage area known as cache. This mechanism allows applications and systems to retrieve information more quickly and efficiently, reducing wait times and improving overall performance. In the context of cloud computing, caching becomes an essential tool for optimizing resource management and the response speed of applications. Cache can be implemented at various levels, from server memory to dedicated storage solutions, and can include data such as database query results, static files, or even API responses. The relevance of caching lies in its ability to minimize latency and load on backend systems, allowing applications to scale more effectively and provide a smoother user experience. In a microservices environment, caching becomes a critical component for maintaining efficiency and speed in communication between services, thus facilitating optimal performance in distributed systems.
