Edge Caching Dynamic Content
Welcome to a fascinating topic: Edge Caching for Dynamic Content! So far, we've mostly talked about caching static files like images and CSS.
But what about content that changes, like personalized recommendations or user-specific data? That's where edge caching for dynamic content comes in.
Static vs. Dynamic Content
Let's quickly recap the difference:
- Static Content: Stays the same for every user, every time. Think images, videos, CSS, JavaScript files. CDNs are great for this!
- Dynamic Content: Changes based on the user, time, location, or other factors. Examples include user dashboards, personalized product listings, real-time news feeds.
