Microservice-level caching and database query caching
Microservice-level aching and database query caching are strategies employed to enhance the performance and scalability of microservices by reducing the need for repeated computations and database queries.
Microservice-level caching
Microservice-level caching involves storing and retrieving frequently accessed data within individual microservices to avoid redundant computations or external calls. Each microservice maintains its own cache, and caching decisions are made within the microservice boundaries.
Caching can allow microservices to improve fault tolerance, which is the ability of a system to continue functioning despite failures or errors. Caching can act as a buffer during temporary service outages or network issues, which can affect the availability and performance of microservices. Caching can help microservices to do the following:
- It can reduce the dependency on external services or databases that might...
