Description: Response Caching is a design pattern used to store responses to specific requests, aiming to improve application performance and reduce load on underlying services. This pattern is based on the premise that many requests to a system can be repetitive, and thus their responses can be reused. By storing these responses in temporary storage, such as RAM or a caching storage system, the need for costly calculations or queries can be avoided each time a similar request is received. The main features of response caching include quick data retrieval, reduced latency in applications, and optimized server resource usage. This pattern is particularly relevant in environments where efficiency and speed are critical, such as web applications, API services, and distributed systems. Additionally, response caching can be implemented in various ways, including the use of specific libraries, server configurations, or third-party solutions, making it a versatile tool for developers and software architects looking to enhance user experience and application scalability.
