A mind map of caching strategies across the stack covering browser caching, CDN edge, reverse proxy, in-memory stores, and database query caching.

What it shows

  • Browser and CDN edge reduce network hops before hitting your servers.
  • Reverse proxies absorb sudden read spikes and protect origin services.
  • Redis and DB buffer pools eliminate expensive disk reads.

The takeaway

Cache closest to the user for latency, but closest to the source of truth for consistency.
