Optimizing API Performance with NodeCache in Node.js
Introduction : Efficient API response time is crucial for any web application. One way to achieve this is by implementing caching. In this blog, we'll explore how NodeCache can be used in a Node.js project to improve performance by reducing redundant API calls What is Caching? Caching stores frequently accessed data in memory, allowing for quicker retrieval. Instead of fetching data repeatedly from an external API or database, the system first checks if the required data is already available in cache Why Use NodeCache? Improves response time by avoiding repeated API calls Reduces API rate limits and dependency on external services Enhances scalability by lowering server load fig1: CACHING IN NODE.JS ...
