Cache and Data Storage Quiz

Caching Purpose and Types

• The primary purpose of caching is to reduce the time it takes to access frequently-used data by storing it in a location that can be quickly accessed.

In-Memory Caching

• In in-memory caching, data is stored in Random Access Memory (RAM), which provides fast access to the cached data.

CDN Caching

• The primary function of Content Delivery Network (CDN) caching is to distribute and cache copies of website content at multiple locations around the world, reducing the distance between users and the content they request.

Disk Caching vs. In-Memory Caching

• Disk caching stores data on a hard drive or solid-state drive, which is slower than RAM, but provides more storage capacity.
• In-memory caching stores data in RAM, which is faster but has limited storage capacity.
• Disk caching is used for less frequently accessed data, while in-memory caching is used for frequently accessed data that requires fast access times.
