Application Cache

Definitions

1. A cache used by an application to store frequently accessed data, computed results, or rendered output so repeated work can be avoided. Application caches improve performance and reduce backend load, but they also introduce invalidation, consistency, and memory-management concerns.

   In plain English: A stored shortcut inside an application that keeps commonly needed data ready for faster use.

   Example: "The latency dropped after the team moved product lookups into the application cache instead of rebuilding the same query on every request."
