The Spring Cache Abstraction
Cache method results with annotations.
Why Caching
Caching stores the result of expensive operations so repeated calls return instantly from memory instead of recomputing or re-querying.
- Lower latency
- Less database load
- Better throughput
The Cache Abstraction
Spring provides a cache abstraction — a uniform API over many backends (in-memory, Redis, Caffeine). You annotate methods; Spring handles the storage.
