Caching speeds up applications, but each method has tradeoffs. Pekka Enberg’s caching guide breaks down six core strategies—cache-aside, read-through, write-through, write-behind, client-side, and distributed caching—explaining how they affect latency, complexity, and consistency. Learn when to use each and how to optimize for performance.
