Implementing data caching for enhanced performance

When developing a mobile application, working with a database can present certain performance challenges:

• Accessing data even from a local database can lead to noticeable delays because mobile devices typically have lower CPU capabilities
• Since typically you can’t store too much data on a mobile device, you often need your application to work with remote data storage, which causes delays due to the internet connection

Implementing data caching techniques helps mitigate these challenges. You can reduce redundant database calls and enable quicker access to frequently used data. Integrating the unit of work and repository patterns, as introduced in the Implementing the unit of work and repository patterns recipe, allows you to seamlessly integrate caching into your data processing logic, enhancing overall application performance and UX.

In this recipe, we will enhance the repository created in the previous...
