Understanding application performance problems
Session storage is temporary storage of user-specific data during a browsing session. Caching stores frequently accessed data to reduce the need to access the original source repeatedly.
Caching can improve database performance and scalability by reducing the number of operations hitting the database. By serving frequently accessed data from the cache, databases experience less load.
Data flexibility and proper modeling enhance management of user-specific information by accommodating a variety of session attributes and optimizing storage, retrieval, and maintenance.
TTL, or time-to-live, specifies how long data remains valid in a cache before it expires and needs to be refreshed or removed.
