    How to use caching in web applications?

    This question has many solutions, but a popular approach is to use memcached object storage. It stores objects in main memory. The server side code must handle the GET requests in layers, the request must hit the cache layer first, check if the object is in cache. If yes(Hit), send response, else continue serving request from next layer.
