# Managing API Cache
## Overview
Implement intelligent API response caching using Redis, Memcached, or in-memory stores with cache key generation, TTL management, cache invalidation strategies, and HTTP cache headers. Support read-through, write-through, and cache-aside patterns with tag-based invalidation for related resources and stale-while-revalidate behavior.
## Prerequisites
- Redis 6+ or Memcached for distributed caching (required for multi-instance deployments)
- Cache client library: `ioredis` (Node.js), `redis-py` (Python), or Lettuce (Java)
- CDN with cache control support for edge caching (CloudFront, Cloudflare, Fastly) -- optional
- Monitoring for cache hit/miss ratios and eviction rates
- Understanding of data freshness requirements per endpoint
